Yes and no
;)

Yes, because that's tha kind of things I want to do ...

No, because the goal is not to assert that an exception raised by the
SUT has a particular message . The goal is that if assertRaises check
fails (either because another kind of exception was raised or no
exception was raised at all or ...) then I want this test failure to
be reported with a custom message besides «MyException was not raised»
i.e. also including the values of variables in test case's local
namespace .
