I find myself reaching for a list of the assert methods in the unittest library often. There are several methods but no clear way to link a URL via a header if you intend to bookmark or send it out.

I have been using the method above the section in the meantime

https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.debug

Would be great to have an `Assert Methods` header or some other equivalent.

Thank you!

Are you asking for a separate section grouping together all the assert methods from different parts which I think is useful. If you are looking for a better link then there is a link in the below text at the start of the page 

> If you are already familiar with the basic concepts of testing, you might want to skip to the list of assert methods.

The text "list of assert methods" links to https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/unittest.html#assert-methods which I hope is what you are looking for.


Thanks

Ah, yes! Was searching for one of those helpful "Permalink to this ___" options. Didn't even see the link at the top.

Thank you!
