IPython/testing/tools.py

"""Generic testing tools that do NOT depend on Twisted.

In particular, this module exposes a set of top-level assert* functions that
can be used in place of nose.tools.assert* in method generators (the ones in
nose can not, at least as of nose 0.10.4).

Note: our testing package contains testing.util, which does depend on Twisted
and provides utilities for tests that manage Deferreds.  All testing support
tools that only depend on nose, IPython or the standard library should go here
instead.
