Summary: doctest and exception messages
Initial Comment:
doctest should include information something like this:
doctest docstrings should not rely on the text of internal Python
exceptions. Notice the way factorial() uses its own error messages
with the standard Python exceptions. The internal messages can
change even in bugfix releases (as in 2.2.1 to 2.2.2).

What should change Aahz in the docs? Not clear to me...

Please, could you verify if this problem persists in Python 2.3.4
or 2.4?
If yes, in which version? Can you provide a test case?
If the problem is solved, from which version?
Note that if you fail to answer in one month, I'll close this bug
as "Won't fix".
Thank you!
. Facundo

Tim sent this back to Aahz, so I'm assigning it to him as a
reminder.

Back to Aahz. I don't mind if you change this -- edit the docs
and check it in.

It could, but it shouldn't: error msgs in docs that don't match
reality are also an insult to users. doctest should grow some
sort of option here, though, as its uses outgrew its original
purposes.

Couldn't doctest be modified so that it only compares the
exception
name only?
