What if I want to assert my test raises neither OSError nor IOError?
Passing (OSError, IOError) as excClass should do it.
But I can't see this being a useful test. As written, exceptions are
still treated as errors, except for excClass, which is treated as a test
failure. I can't see the use-case for that. assertRaises is useful:
"IOError is allowed, but any other exception is a bug."
makes perfect sense. assertNotRaises doesn't seem sensible or useful to me:
"IOError is a failed test, but any other exception is a bug."
What's the point? When would you use that?
