Hm. I've got to say that returning the exception object is, um, an odd API in the set of unittest APIs. I can see how it's sometimes more powerful, but I'd say that in many cases assertRaisesWithMessage will be easier to write and read. (And making it a regex match would be even cooler.) -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
