I don't get it, why would failureException block anything ? The unittest.TestCase API must remain the same anyway, but it could become just a wrapper towards external assertions. For example : class TestCase: assertEqual = wrap(assertions.assert_equal) Where "wrap" for example is some kind of functools.partial() injecting into external assertions a parameter "failure_exception_class". Having all these external assertions take such a parameter (defaulting to AssertionError) would be a great plus for adaptability anyway. ---------- versions: +Python 3.5 -Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue19645> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
