Julien Palard <julien+pyt...@palard.fr> added the comment:

We're using assert instead of assertEqual to denote that we're not "testing 
unittest" but asserting that unittest work as documented. Whch is semantically 
a bit different.

Unittesting unittest using unittest works, but using unittest test to test 
unittest as documentation example could lead the reader to having hard time 
figuring what's what. I think using assert here disambiguate the whole thing.
