How about this:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/307970
a better assertRaises() for unittest.py
When writing unit tests for Python using the standard unittest.py
system the assertRaises() (aka failUnlessRaises()) method is used to
test that a particular call raises the given exception. This recipe
if for assertRaisesEx() that adds three things: (1) the ability to
assert the raised exception's args; (2) the ability to test that the
stringified exception matches a given regular expression; and (3)
much better failure messages.
I haven't read this thread, so apologies is this doesn't really apply to
the discussion.
Cheers,
Trent
