> due to floating-point inexactness
+1 Its not easy to predict when calculated value will not be equal to expected theoretical value. for example math.cos(radians(90)) is something like 6e-17 rather than 0.
Testing for this exact value would be just awkward.
assertAlmostEqual() is already there in unittest for such comparisons so it wouldn't be completely nonsensical to have something like APPROX
