After submitting queries to a service, I get a dictionary / a list back and I want to make sure it's not empty. I am on Python 2.7.
I am surprised I don't see any assertEmpty method for the unittest.TestCase class instance.
The existing alternatives such as:
self.assertTrue(bool(d))
and
self.assertNotEqual(d,{})
and
self.assertGreater(len(d),0)
just don't look right.
Is this kind of method is missing in the Python unittest framework? If yes, what would be the most pythonic way to assert that an iterable is not empty?

Empty lists/dicts evaluate to False, so self.assertTrue(d) gets the job done.
