No, I was suggesting (assuming it's reasonably possible in terms of implementation) to report the whole block (3 lines) as-is. 
Note that the same would apply for functions.
For example this:
 self.assertEqual(1, 
 2)
Currently prints:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "foo.py", line 7, in test_foo
 2)
 AssertionError: 1 != 2
While instead it should:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "foo.py", line 6, in test_foo
 self.assertEqual(1, 
 2)
 AssertionError: 1 != 2
