This is a tricky one as there's plenty of prior art, with pytest's assertion rewriting [1], testfixtures compare [2] and the stuff that unittest already does [3]. I don't think any solution should rely on a TestCase being used as pytest, which is the most prevalent testing framework now, doesn't want to rely on them (they do come with a lot of baggage ;-)). Can we make use of the pretty diffing stuff in unittest without explicitly making it a requirement?
