If you really want the diff you could use assertMultiLineEqual, but even on
Python 2 you shouldn't mix str and unicode. I would rather fix the code to
return unicode than using assertMultilineEqual to get a diff between str and
unicode. Moreover assertMultiLineEqual only works if the str happens to be
ASCII-only:
>>> class MyTest(TestCase):
... def test_foo(self):
... self.assertMultiLineEqual('bàr', u'bàz')
...
>>> unittest.main(exit=False)
E
