When writing test cases, I often need to assert that two list contain the same elements without regard to their order.
I have been doing this by converting the lists to sets.
Is there any simpler way to do this?
EDIT:
As @MarkDickinson pointed out, I can just use TestCase.assertItemsEqual.
Notes that TestCase.assertItemsEqual is new in Python2.7.
If you are using an older version of Python, you can use unittest2 – a backport of new features of Python 2.7.
