As I explained in a followup post, I am currently using a custom 
function test function that accepts i/o pairs with exception classes as 
'outputs'. It was inspired by test.py, but that is both overkill and an 
unwanted external dependency for my current project. I also wrote and 
use an iterator test function and a specialized iterator test function 
for iterators that return sequences. (For better error reporting, the 
latter tests items within each sequence rather than each sequence as a 
whole. This is especially helpful when the items are themselves 
collections, as in some combinatorial iterators.)
