Add some basic assert methods ?

assertEqual(a, b) 
assertNotEqual(a, b) 
assertTrue(x) 
assertFalse(x)

It would potentially make logging easier/better.

Based on https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.debug

I’ve had a lot of luck with PyHamcrest for adding richer asserts to Python packages (except when using pytest, which seems to use dark magic to get fancy looking asserts).

I will grant that it’s a little verbose and I could see how some people might not like that.

from hamcrest import *


@cocotb.test()
def the_test(dut):
    yield Timer(1)
    assert_that(2+2, equal_to(7))

Send raised exception:
