I had to bridge this gap for coverage.py, and ended up doing it for a
few methods, see
  <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
 href="http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/src/tip/test/backunittest.py">http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/src/tip/test/backunittest.py</a><br>

But this method bothers me: the Multiline aspect has nothing to do with
the comparison, only with the reporting of failed assertions.&nbsp; Better
would be to have assertEqual be smart enough to recognize that the
arguments are multiline strings, and just do the right thing with them.<br>

If you use unittest2 then you get assertMultilineEqual and smarter
assertEqual behaviour.<br>

    <div>Is there anything like <a moz-do-not-send="true"
 href="http://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.assertMultiLineEqual">assertMultilineEqual</a>
for older versions of Python (e.g. not 2.7)?</div>

    </div>
    <div>I think nose and pytest may have already solved that, but is
there an easy way that doesn't require added dependencies?</div>

    <div>Thanks!</div>
