I agree with Raymond, I think this might end up complicating things too much. 
It is common in the unit test library to only recurse one level deep and not 
assume too much about the intentions of the tester.

Raymond Hettinger  added the comment:

I believe this is outside the scope of what intended.   For the most part, the 
test methods need to be as direct and non-magical as possible so that we're 
clear on what is being tested.   Another issue with built in recursion is that 
different people have different notions of what is atomic, different notions of 
search order (depth first, breadth first, pre-order, in-order, post-order, 
etc), and different notions on maximum depth etc.  The unittest module leaves 
those decisions to the tester and instead focuses on simple and direct 
properties of objects under test.

[issue36201] AssertCountEqual does not work for nested dictionaries.

[Walter Qian]

New submission from Walter Qian :

For dictionaries of dictionaries unittest.util._count_diff_all_purpose does not 
work correctly. It should recursively call itself when it encounters another 
dictionary.
