[New-bugs-announce] [issue2578] Figure out what to do with unittest's redundant APIs

[Benjamin Peterson]

New submission from Benjamin Peterson <musiccomposition at gmail.com>:

unittest has many redundant APIs (eg. failIf and assertFalse) which can
be phased out in 3.x. We may also want to change the actually methods so
they really do what they say:

if x == y:
   pass
 else:
   raise AssertionError(...)

rather than

 if x != y:
   raise AssertionError(...)
