Issue with Python Testing lesson

Is my code wrong or is there a bug with the module?

tests.py 
import unittest
class SimpleTestCase(unittest, TestCase):
    def test_ten_minus_ten(self):
        assert 10 - 10 == 0

The correct solution is:

import unittest
class SimpleTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_ten_minus_ten(self):
        assert 10 - 10 == 0

Notice that unittest and TestCase are not separate parameters separated by a comma as in your code, but they actually form a single parameter: unittest.TestCase. This is because TestCase is part of the unittest module that you imported. Your new class, SimpleTestCase, inherits properties from this.
