Is there a python unit test framework that gives compact error output when comparing strings

Question

Using the Java JUnit framework and comparing the lines "abcde" and "abde", you get the expected error output: <... b [c] d ...> but it was: <... b [] d ...> '

Using python unittest I get "abcde"! = "Abde", which is not so useful if you are dealing with long strings.

So my question is: is there a python unit test framework that gives the same compact output as JUnit for Java?

Answer 1

unittest2 backport ( Python >= 2.4) , PyUnit (unittest) Python 2.7.
