[New-bugs-announce] [issue7032] Make assertMultilineEqual default for unicode string comparison in

[Michael Foord]

New submission from Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk>:

unittest.TestCase.assertEqual uses the new type equality functions for
comparing containers. 

In Python 2.7 assertMultilineEqual should be the default comparison
method for unicode strings and in Python 3.2 for comparing strings.

assertMultilineEqual should only use difflib for showing differences for
strings above a certain length. (For short strings the extra output is
actually more confusing than helpful.)
