Answer 1

self.id().split('.')[-1]

You can find the Documentation at: http://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.id

edit: For 2.7 users, https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.id

Answer 2

You can usestr(self.id()).split()[4]. It could be found here http://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.id

Answer 3

You can use self._testMethodName. This is inherited from the unittest.TestCase parent class.

def setUp():
    print "In method", self._testMethodName
