Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

After discussion on python-dev, it seems that API lock-in precludes any change 
to the package structure.  So, the main proposals left are the addition of new 
better aliases for some of the functions and changing to the docs so that the 
new name is clear:

   assertLE(self, other)
      old name:  AssertLessEqual
      . . .

Also, I we should still dedocument assert<sometype>Equal and its brethren and 
leave assertEqual as the primary interface.  

At some point, we could add an option to assertEqual to allow user control of 
how failing results are displayed.  This would let us separate content from 
presentation (i.e. a==b vs how a diff would get presented).
