many people write test cases with python scripts.
in these test scripts, there are many validation statements,
for example, in unittest, failUnless(a == b),(a/b may be stringType or
intType...)
during running test scripts, if there is one exception raised from
failUnless, i still do not know a =?, b= ?... i have to add one statment
"print a" or "print b" again...
as i know, there are many validation statements if using python as one
test tool...
i think my suggestion or requirement may benefit users greatly...
A test framework will contain many tests for equality that have nothing to
do with the tests themselves. So the real answer to this problem is to have
the tests be more explicit when they need to be. A testEqual(a, b) test
function would seem to be a more sensible approach than radical surgery on
the interpreter. The function can then print its arguments if they turn out
to be unequal.
Otherwise there would have to be some *very* selective mechanism to decide
when the comparison arguments were printed out.

Steve
