Hello, I wrote a Pylint plugin to detect less than optimal usage of unittest assertions, for example writing self.assertEqual(x, None) instead of self.assertIsNone(x) or using deprecated aliases. It's published in PyPI under the name pylint-unittest and is also available on GitHub here: https://github.com/federicobond/pylint-unittest I would love to hear your feedback on it. Also, it took me longer than I expected to put together the necessary boilerplate for doing test-driven development on this plugin, so I hope it can serve as a good base for others too. I feel that the way pylint-django tests are structured is too awkward for newcomers. Thank you! Federico
