Description

In part 5 of "Writing your first Django app" (​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/intro/tutorial05/) the tests are using assertIs() instead of assertTrue() or assertFalse, which feel more appropriate.

Would it be better, since it's the tutorial, to introduce assertEqual, then progress to assertIs, and finally assertTrue / assertFalse ?
I realise this is a Django tutorial, not a unittest one, but I still feel it's better to show new developers the common tools and why they'd pick which.

assertIs() works differently from assertFalse() and assertTrue(). assertFalse() will pass if bool(value) is False and likewise for assertTrue().
