[issue46610] assertCountEqual doesn't work as expected for dictionary elements

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com> added the comment:

I agree with Eric that this should not be changed.  It is working as documented and intended.

In its original incarenation, assertCountEqual was documented as being equivalent to ``assertEqual(sorted(expected), sorted(actual))``.  Either way, the goal was to count the values produced by iterating.

To compare two dicts or two Counters including both keys and values, just use assertEqual.
