Just got this:

_pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <class 'unittest.loader.ModuleImportFailure'>: attribute lookup ModuleImportFailure on unittest.loader failed

unittest should use regular exception classes instead.

They aren't "real" exceptions, though, if I understand correctly.

Here is a patch.

classname is not used in _make_failed_test().
