[New-bugs-announce] [issue34514] assertEqual doesn't use maxDiff when comparing dictionaries

[Victor Engmark]

New submission from Victor Engmark <victorengmark.catalyst at gmail.com>:

According to the documentation `assertDictEqual()` "will be used by default to compare dictionaries in calls to assertEqual()." Great, since `maxDiff` applies to assertDictEqual(). However, `maxDiff` doesn't apply to `assertEqual()` when comparing dictionaries.
