Hi!

Just noticed a bug here:

  http://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.assertAlmostEqual
  http://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.assertAlmostEqual

There is a sentence that says, "If delta is supplied instead of places then the difference between first and second must be less (or more) than delta."

Judging by the source code (3.3), that should be "less than or equal to (or greater than or equal to) delta", i.e., it's not a strict inequality.
