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

Which choice would be up to consensus.

I'm agnostic on this one.

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

is and contains ('in') I listed. type, isinstance, issubclass would be extra.
