Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk> added the comment:
David - would you get a good approximation of what you want simply with:
self.assertEqual(ascii(first), ascii(second))
(This actually returns "b'first'" "b'second'" so you may want a convenience
function that chops the leading and trailing b'/')
As ascii returns unicode it would automatically delegate to
assertMultilineEqual.
The obvious way to hook this up by default for assertEqual is having the
split-character as '\n'. This would not be meaningful for using assertEqual to
compare bytes that *aren't* text.
