Hey Laura,

I am still dizzy and sick, but I am trying to get something done anyhow . I have this question.
ups, didn't know you were ill, but you seem to have fun recovering :-)
If you start with
self.assertEquals(f(x) + g(x) == q(x), 'Message to print when the assertion fa ils')
Oh, ^^^^ you mean a comma here, i guess?!
Yes. silly me.
you would like things to come back as
assert f(x) +\ g(x) == q(x), 'Message to print when the assertion fai ls'
actually i'd prefer
assert f(x) + g(x) == q(x), 'Message to print when the assertion fails'
Because i think the output logic should just format it so that it looks nice (e.g. less < 76 characters per line) and retain the correct semantics of the original statement. I wouldn't worry about the original input format, though. If this proves too hard then maybe blame Armin who suggested the 'comma'-try-parsing-withought-understanding-the expression-tricks :-)
It is not too hard, but at some point you have to face the 'my input is more than 76 chars long' problem. I thought it would be better to preserve the spacing written by the original unittest user, breaking it wherever they did if possible. There is no problem in stripping out the newlines, and seeing if what you get is smaller than 78 chars, but what shall we do if the answer is 'no'? Adding parenthesis will work. see: ython 2.3.4 (#2, May 29 2004, 03:31:27) [GCC 3.3.3 (Debian 20040417)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Laura, brain still full of high pitched squeals. (Tintinitus is very interesting, but I've satisfied my curiosity about it for a while ... :-) )
