I would rather something more like:

   def assert_compare_true(op, first, second, msg=None):
       if op(first, second):
           return
       raise self.failure_exception(msg)
       if msg is None:
           self.failure_exception("%(first)r %(op)r %(second)"
                                      % vars())
       self.failure_exception("%(first)r %(op)r %(second): %(msg)"
                              % vars())
