unittest.TestCase.assertEqual uses the new type equality functions for comparing containers. In Python 2.7 assertMultilineEqual should be the default comparison method for unicode strings and in Python 3.2 for comparing strings. assertMultilineEqual should only use difflib for showing differences for strings above a certain length. (For short strings the extra output is actually more confusing than helpful.)
