r88451:
Remove unittest methods scheduled for removal in 3.3

This commit remove assertSameElements() and assertDictContainsSubset(). But shouldn't some modification be done in the unittest library documentation? I wonder if we should remove the docs about the two methods. Now the doc only said "Deprecated since version 3.2."

Georg, what is policy on removed features?
Remove doc or leave and state removed?

"Deprecated in version 3.2 and removed in 3.3."
 or just
"Removed in version 3.3"
(Once removed, does it really matter when deprecated?)

If left, should they be moved to separate section, especially when multiple? It could be a bit annoying for newcomers starting with 3.3 to read and struggle to understand and then read that they just wasted their time. There enough things already to learn and remember.

Actually I think these methods are going back in and staying deprecated, so hold off for a bit.

Removed things are also removed from the doc.  I just committed as much as was necessary to stop buildbot breakage, and notified Michael to take care of the rest (which he did, by explaining I removed the wrong thing :)

Michael, what's the status of this?
Do you think some of the removed methods should be added back even if they are marked as "removed in 3.3" in the 3.2 doc?

Those methods should *not* have been removed. I thought we had discussed this. It is my fault for allowing the error in the 3.2 docs to remain.

Guido decided to leave the fail* methods and assertDictContainsSubset in 3.3 (and possibly even in the following versions), so that people moving from 2.7 to 3.3 don't have to change their code because these methods are missing.
Since assertSameElements is not in 2.7, it can be removed in 3.3.

I will therefore backout r88451 and add back the fail* methods and assertDictContainsSubset.
