Hi<br>
<br>
I've found myself modifying the<br>
unittest.TestCase.assertSequenceEqual() method to suppress the diff of<br>
the two sequences if the diff is more then a few lines and was<br>
wondering if this was something worth considering in the stdlib in<br>
some form or another. The resulting message still contains useful<br>
information since it still prints the first differing elements, and it<br>
avoids flooding the screen with lots of data for long sequences.<br></blockquote><div><br><br>That sounds useful. Please post a feature request on the bug tracker - preferably with a patch including tests.<br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#144FAE"><br></font></font></div></div></blockquote><br></div><div>+1</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps this can be considered a bug fix -- spewing a core dump in the test summary not considered helpful.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Raymond</div></body></html>
