Assert `is` in python unittest [duplicate]

Question

What is the best way to do assertEqual with unittest in Python, but instead of testing == it tests is? I want to ensure I have the same object, not just objects that compare equal. This is important, because some of the objects I'm working with are heap types with wacky compare operators.

Answer 1

That would be the assertIs method.

Answer 2

Use assertIs which does exactly what you want.
