Raymond Hettinger added the comment: While this looks harmless, I seriously question whether it is an improvement.
For example, how is this any better? - self.assertTrue(operator.setitem(a, 0, 2) is None) + self.assertIsNone(operator.setitem(a, 0, 2)) This error message for the first is already perfectly clear. I don't see anything that warrants the code churn. Also remember that changing tests is hazardous. We don't have tests for the tests. So, if a test gets damaged, we won't know about it. The particular patch seems fine, but the whole exercise of going through the test suite and altering the tests is a dubious. The odds of us getting ANY value out of this is vanishingly small. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20544> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
