+1 for doing this in 3.1.
-1 for Python 2.7.
The main reason is that there's just too much 2.x code out there
using the API names you are suggesting to change and/or remove
from the module.
Since this is a major change in the unit test API, I'd also like
to suggest that you use a new module name.
This is both a precaution to prevent tests failing due to not having
been upgraded and a way for old code to continue working by adding
the old unittest module on sys.path.
Please note that the required renaming of the methods in existing
tests is not going to be as straight forward as you may think,
since you may well rename method calls into the tested application
rather than just the unit test class method calls if you're not
careful.
Do you have production code methods called 'assertEquals' and the like?
It sounds pretty unlikely to me.

+1. I had just groped my way to that counter-proposal myself, for
exactly your reasons.
Tres.
