import unittest

class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
  @classmethod
  def make_an_example_of(cls, example_name, example):
    def example_test_template(self):
      self.assertEqual(stuff, example)
    setattr(cls, "test_an_example_of_%s" %(example_name), example_test_template)

MyTestCase.make_an_example_of("Bob")
MyTestCase.make_an_example_of("Frank")

Obviously, you would provide a more comprehensive example with input and output params for each example.
