In the past year I've become a heavy user of the unittest package for managing a variety of software tests. One capability that I've frequently needed is the ability to generate text file outputs that can be compared against a baseline. To my knowledge, this is not currently supported in unittest. I've developed several file comparison functions that are written in a unittest-like style. See https://software.sandia.gov/svn/public/pyutilib/trunk/pyutilib_th/pyunit.py for the test functions, and https://software.sandia.gov/svn/public/pyutilib/trunk/pyutilib_th/misc.py for the underlying file comparison functions. |

I'm not sure we need new unittest functions for file comparison; but a function in difflib that directly takes two filenames would perhaps be accepted. That will need a new patch however. |
