Using the assertNotEqual method of UnitTest (synonym for failIfEqual) only checks if first == second, but does not include not (first != second)
According to the docs: http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html#specialnames There are no implied relationships among the comparison operators. The truth of x==y does not imply that x!=y is false The name assertNotEqual to me implies a check using !=. This misleading title can cause a programmer to think a test suite is complete, even if __ne__ is not define - a common mistake worth testing for.
