bpo-20548: Use specific asserts in warnings and exceptions tests by serhiy-storchaka · Pull Request #788 · python/cpython (original) (raw)

New tests are sometimes not backported either. I don't know what criteria others use. For the present case, I believe some of the specific asserts are not in 2.7, and I think that 3.5 should already be security fix only. I might backport this just to 3.6, or I might decide that other issues are more pressing. Your decision.
