New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:
Currently assertRaises(), assertRaisesRegex(), assertWarns() and
assertWarnsRegex() have some weird behavior.
# always success if the callable is None
self.assertRaises(SomeException, None)
# keyword arguments except "msg" are ignored
with self.assertRaises(SomeException, foobar=123):
...
# always success because keyword arguments are ignored
self.assertRaises(SomeException, callable=func)
Hardly any user code uses these "features" intentionally. More likely such
examples are hidden bugs (see for example [1]). A DeprecationWarning is raised
in these cases since 3.5 (issue24134), and it is time to make them errors.
