Sorry for the second message, but... let's compare:test_sort.py: #! /usr/bin/env python import unittest class Test(unittest.TestCase): def test_me(self): seq = [ 5, 4, 1, 3, 2 ] seq.sort() self.assertEqual(seq, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) if __name__ == '__main__': unittest.main() with test_sort2.py : def test_me(): seq = [ 5, 4, 1, 3 2 ] seq.sort() assert seq == [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] The *only value* that unittest adds here is in the 'assertEqual' statement, which (I think) returns a richer error message than 'assert'.
If you use py.test, it does some magic to find out your test is an equality comparison and displays both operands' repr(). Don't know about nose.
