New submission from Dhara: Various assert methods added in version 2.7 ignore the longMessage attribute: http://docs.python.org/2.7/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.longMessage
For example when matching regular expressions using unittest.TestCase.assertRegexpMatches, the following error is generated: AssertionError: <custom short message>: '<regexp>' not found in '<text>' Since longMessage is ignored, and the text to be matched can be pages long, the error messages are impossibly long.
