Pehaps it hasn't been demonstrated before, but just for the sake of argument 
(and because I'm a persistant bugger), here are the two different cases:

current:
ctxt = self.assertRaises(MyException)
with ctxt:
    foo()
self.assertEqual(ctxt.exception.value, 1)

suggested:
e = self.assertRaises(MyExcetpion, foo)
self.assertEqual(e.value, 1)

The inconvenient bit about the current method is having to keep the context 
manager around.  Also note that the current way of looking at the exception 
object makes it blatantly clear that self.assertRaises() is returning an 
object.  That, imho, breaks the argument about self.assert* methods not 
returning any info.
