Robert Collins added the comment: Thanks for proposing this. I really don't want to add new assertions to unittest, and I certainly don't want to add narrow usage ones like this, nor ones that are confusingly named (this has nothing to do with files, but 'close' is a verb for files, just like equal is a verb for objects.
Instead, I suggest a regular function that will raise AssertionError on failure. The only thing you need _formatMessage for is handling long messages, and I don't think thats useful or relevant for a binary numeric test like this. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27198> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
