I am working on a patch which gets rid of uses of obsolete functions.

I had to adapt test_support, since __module__ is now unittest instead of unittest.loader for these three functions.

Are all tests warning-free?

If these functions are not used in unittest tests, add special tests, catch DeprecationWarning and check the filename attribute (to ensure that the stacklevel is correct).

Why not add deprecations when they are defined?

IIUC, it is the "shortcuts" that are deprecated, not the methods themselves. Should I deprecate the undocumented unittest.TestLoader.makeSuite and unittest.TestLoader.findTestCases as well?

There are no unittest.TestLoader.makeSuite and unittest.TestLoader.findTestCases.

Sorry, I meant unittest.loader, not unittest.TestLoader:

>>> import unittest
>>> unittest.loader.makeSuite
<function makeSuite at 0x10be0e2a0>
>>> unittest.loader.findTestCases
<function findTestCases at 0x10be0e340>
>>>

See python/cpython#28299

loadTestsFromTestCase() is available since Python 2.7 at least.
