unittesting(Python), test if function returns an array

Question

I have a python function somefunc(), that must return an array like this [1, 2, 3]. Now I'm writing a unittest to check what this functions return:

class TestingFunctionsTest(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_somefunc(self):
        #what to write here ?

I'm new in python testing, please help.

You can write:

from mymodule import somefunc

class TestingFunctionsTest(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_somefunc(self):
        self.assertEqual(somefunc(), [1, 2, 3])

This calls the function and asserts that the return value must be equal to [1, 2, 3].
