assert_is_empty() and assert_is_not_empty() now consume generators if necessary

implement “assert_almost_now()”

stop testing Python 2.6/3.3 (support for these versions will be removed in the next release)

implement “assert_is(expr1, expr2)” and “assert_is_not(expr1, expr2)”

implement “assert_path_exists()”, “assert_path_not_exists()”, “assert_file_exists()”, and “assert_file_not_exists()”

prevent nosetests from running “skip_test” as an actual test case

provide a PEP8 compliant “skip_test” (and export “skipTest” via “__all__”)

assert_length() now consumes generators if this is necessary to get the length

instruct test runners to suppress traceback lines from PythonicTestcase when displaying a test failure.

export ‘SkipTest’ class via unittest (Python 2.7+), unittest2 or nose.plugins.skip

support for “@expect_failure” decorator. It works very similar to unittest’s “@expectedFailure”. However failing tests are reported as “skipped” not “passing” if the test runner does not support “expected failures” (such as nosetests 1.x).

rename project to “PythonicTestcase” to workaround pip’s automatic replacement of underscores with dashes. This simplifies installation from a private index.

fix: assert_raises does not catch some (expected) exceptions on Python 2.6

implement assert_not_raises

assert_raises can return a context manager
