[Python-Dev] unittest missing assertNotRaises

[Wilfred Hughes]

Hi folks

I wasn't sure if this warranted a bug in the tracker, so I thought I'd raise
it here first.

unittest has assertIn, assertNotIn, assertEqual, assertNotEqual and so on.
So, it seems odd to me that there isn't assertNotRaises. Is there any
particular motivation for not putting it in?

I've attached a simple patch against Python 3's trunk to give an idea of
what I have in mind.

Thanks
Wilfred
