[Python] How to use Python Unittest TearDownClass with TestResult.wasSuccessful()

I wanted to call setUpClass and tearDownClass so that setup and teardown would be performed only once for each test. However, it keeps failing for me when I call tearDownClass. I only want to record 1 test result, either PASS if both tests passed or FAIL if both tests failed. If I call only setup and tearDown then all works fine:

Calling setUpClass and tearDownClass:

#!/usr/bin/python

import datetime
import itertools
import logging
import os
import sys
import time
import unittest

LOGFILE = 'logfile.txt'

class MyTest(unittest.TestCase):

global testResult
testResult = None

@classmethod
def setUpClass(self):

## test result for DB Entry:
self.dbresult_dict = {
'SCRIPT' : 'MyTest.py',
'RESULT' : testResult,
}

def test1(self):

expected_number = 10
actual_number = 10

self.assertEqual(expected_number, actual_number)

def test2(self):

expected = True
actual = True

self.assertEqual(expected, actual)


def run(self, result=None):
self.testResult = result
unittest.TestCase.run(self, result)

@classmethod
def tearDownClass(self):
ok = self.testResult.wasSuccessful()
errors = self.testResult.errors
failures = self.testResult.failures
if ok:
self.dbresult_dict['RESULT'] = 'Pass'
else:
logging.info(' %d errors and %d failures',
len(errors), len(failures))
self.dbresult_dict['RESULT'] = 'Fail'

if __name__ == '__main__':
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.addHandler(logging.FileHandler(LOGFILE, mode='a'))
stderr_file = open(LOGFILE, 'a')

runner = unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2, stream=stderr_file, descriptions=True)
itersuite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(MyTest)
runner.run(itersuite)
sys.exit()
unittest.main(module=itersuite, exit=True)

stderr_file.close()


Error:
