- use assertIsInstance, assertNotEqual, and assertIsNotNone as more specific checks (will produce better logging) - use assertRaises when expecting exceptions being thrown - when testing internal_test_rhashtable, instead of checking type and elements of the return values just check the return value as a whole (easier and already getting all the work needed by unittest)
Good find! I was going by the documentation which didn't mention any of these asserts.
Hm I see all of them in https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/unittest.html#test-cases
ACK, assuming it also works with python3, ie this passes:
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 ./configure && make && make -C test-data check && make -C python check
Usually I try on a Python3-only distribution (== Archlinux). Since they passed there too, I pushed it. Thanks, -- Pino Toscano
