使用self vs cls访问unittest中的变量

假设我有一个简单的类对象,看起来像 Counter

from collections import Counter

class Vocabulary:
    def __init__(self, words):
        self.vocab = Counter(words)

添加 Vocabulary setUpClass 分类方法如下:

import unittest

class VocabularyTests(unittest.TestCase):
    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        cls.vocab = Vocabulary(["z", "a", "b", "c", "f", "d", "e", "g", "a", "d", "b", "e", "w"])


    def test_counts_set_correctly(self):
        self.assertEqual(cls.vocab["a"], 2)

或者我可以用 self :

class VocabularyTests(unittest.TestCase):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(VocabularyTests, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.vocab = Vocabulary(["z", "a", "b", "c", "f", "d", "e", "g", "a", "d", "b", "e", "w"])

    def test_counts_set_correctly(self):
        self.assertEqual(self.vocab["a"], 2)

import unittest

class VocabularyTests(unittest.TestCase):
    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(self):
        self.vocab = Vocabulary(["z", "a", "b", "c", "f", "d", "e", "g", "a", "d", "b", "e", "w"])


    def test_counts_set_correctly(self):
        self.assertEqual(self.vocab["a"], 2)

根据 What is the 'cls' variable used for in Python classes? ,这只是一个编码约定,但是unittest的第三个版本和 @classmethod 使用 self.vocab 还有前两个习语测试?
