Actually, from further reading, I think we should really be using
assert_ (it would have been called assert, but this is a reserved
word, so add a trailing underscore as per PEP8).  The variants
assertTrue and assertFalse were added to match JUnit.  See:
http://bugs.python.org/issue2249

Fixed in CVS to use assert_ instead of assertTrue.
