By etc I assume you mean:

assertLessThan assertGreaterThan assertLessThanOrEquals assertGreaterThanOrEquals Would not variants be useful as well - it seems not as the not of one is always another... (I think 'assertLessThan' reads better than 'assertLess' but will do what I'm told...)

Most of the etc. could be simplified with a function assertOp which takes an operator as first argument

import operator def assertOp(self, op, a, b, msg): func = getattr(operator, op) self.assert_(func(a, b) ...)

assertOp("gt", a, b) == assert a > g

I also like to have some assert for is, type, isinstance, issubclass and contains.
