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. ---------- nosy: +mdk _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35685> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
