[Pyunit-interest] Re: PATCH: AssertionError message

[Steve P. <ste...@ya...>]

A similar patch is actually in the PyUnit CVS already, and appears to be
in the standard-library version of PyUnit shipped with Python 2.2,
though not 2.1. The new code looks like this:

    def failUnlessEqual(self, first, second, msg=None):
        """Fail if the two objects are unequal as determined by the '!='
           operator.
        """
        if first != second:
            raise self.failureException, \
                  (msg or '%s != %s' % (`first`, `second`))

    def failIfEqual(self, first, second, msg=None):
        """Fail if the two objects are equal as determined by the '=='
           operator.
        """
        if first == second:
            raise self.failureException, \
                  (msg or '%s == %s' % (`first`, `second`))


Is anyone interested in a fresh standalone release of PyUnit soon?
I had guessed that most people have moved to Python 2.x by now, but
maybe I'm mistaken?

Best wishes to all,
