Most of the etc. could be simplified with a function assertOp which
takes an operator as first argument

import operator
def assertOp(self, op, a, b, msg):
    func = getattr(operator, op)
    self.assert_(func(a, b) ...)

assertOp("gt", a, b) == assert a > g

I also like to have some assert for is, type, isinstance, issubclass and
contains.
