That's a bit ugly, and not very easy to extract.

Assuming that we control the logging, I'd suggest using a decorator to
add the test case numbers to the function objects:

# This decorator takes an argument and sets it as the test_case member
def testcase(number):
    def decorator(func):
        func.test_case = number
        return func
    return decorator

@testcase(42)
def test_method():
    print "Hello, world!"

print "Executing test (test case %d)" % test_method.test_case
test_method()

Now you can extract the test case programatically, instead of relying
on the method name containing the number.  The decorator can be
extended to set more fields to other useful information too.
