New submission from Martin Panter: In Mercurial revision 6e5b5d1b6714, the documentation for “assertMultiLineEqual” was changed from
This method is used by default when comparing Unicode strings with “assertEqual”. to This method is used by default when comparing strings with “assertEqual”. The new text is misleading because “str” objects are also strings, but the default does not apply to “str” objects. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Tests keywords: easy messages: 293229 nosy: docs@python, ezio.melotti, martin.panter priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: TestCase.assertMultiLineEqual only registered for Unicode strings in 2.7 type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30304> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
