But this method bothers me: the Multiline aspect has nothing to do with
the comparison, only with the reporting of failed assertions. 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>If unittest2 is meant for Python versions older than 2.7, how do

<div>tests_require = ['nose', 'webtest']</div>

unittest2 works fine with Python 2.7 (and will soon have features that
are in unittest in python 3.2 but not in 2.7).<br>
<br></div></blockquote><div>ahh got it... so regardless of doing " install_requires = ['unittes2'] " in Python2.7 and later, it will still work... I thought unittest2 was</div><div>*only* for extending compatibility to older versions of Python.</div>

<div>Is there anything like <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.assertMultiLineEqual" target="_blank">assertMultilineEqual</a>
for older versions of Python (e.g. not 2.7)?</div>
<div><br>
</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><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
