I'm working on improving the .rst documentation of test.support (Issue 11015), and came upon the undocumented "fcmp" function that's being exported from test.support, along with a "FUZZ"constant.
As I search through the tests (py3k trunk), I see fcmp() is being used only in two places in a fairly trivial way: 1. test_float: where it can be directly replaced by assertAlmostEqual from unittest 2. test_builtin: where the assertion can also be easily rewritten in terms of assertAlmostEqual Although fcmp seems to provide extra functionality over assertAlmostEqual, the above makes me think it should probably be removed altogether, or added to unittest if it's still deemed important. +/- ?
