Robert Collins added the comment:

Thanks for proposing this. I really don't want to add new assertions to 
unittest, and I certainly don't want to add narrow usage ones like this, nor 
ones that are confusingly named (this has nothing to do with files, but 'close' 
is a verb for files, just like equal is a verb for objects.

Instead, I suggest a regular function that will raise AssertionError on 
failure. The only thing you need _formatMessage for is handling long messages, 
and I don't think thats useful or relevant for a binary numeric test like this.
