@victor I am little confused over the issue since you have said "`assertDictEqual()` "will be used by default to compare dictionaries in calls to assertEqual()" and "`maxDiff` doesn't apply to `assertEqual()` when comparing dictionaries" . Since assertDictEqual is used for assertEqual calls when they compare dictionaries I can see that maxDiff value is applied to the diffs. A script will be helpful here on the expected and actual output. The attached script I have used to check that the maxDiff value is applied. $ ./python.exe ../backups/bpo34514.py FFFF ====================================================================== FAIL: test_assert_dict_equal_large_diff (__main__.Test_TestCase) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "../backups/bpo34514.py", line 59, in test_assert_dict_equal_large_diff self.assertDictEqual(original, expected) AssertionError: {1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4, 5: 5, 6: 6, 7: 7, [726 chars]: 99} != {101: 101, 102: 102, 103: 103, 104: 104, 10[942 chars] 199} Diff is 3347 characters long.
