Summary: doctest runner cannot handle non-ascii characters
Initial Comment:
The doctest module fails when the expected result
string has non-ascii charcaters even if the # -*-
coding: XXX -*- line is properly set.
The enclosed code sample produce the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test_iso-8859-15.py", line 41, in ?
_test()
File "test_iso-8859-15.py", line 26, in _test
tried, failed = runner.run(t)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/doctest.py", line 1376, in run
return self.__run(test, compileflags, out)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/doctest.py", line 1259, in __run
if check(example.want, got, self.optionflags):
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/doctest.py", line 1475, in
check_output
if got == want:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte
0xe9 in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)

Unassigned myself -- don't know enough about encodings.

I'm quite sure that you can use non-ASCII characters in
your doctest, given that it's a unicode string. So if you
make your docstring a unicode string, it should work. That
is:
u"""Docstring containing non-ASCII characters.
...
"""

Unfortunateny that patch does not fix my problem. The patch
at bug #1080727 fixes the problem for doctests written in
external reST files (testfile and DocFileTest functions). My
problem is related to internal docstring encoding (testmod
for instance). However, Bjorn Tillenius says:
"""
If one writes doctests within documentation strings of
classes and
functions, it's possible to use non-ASCII characters since
one can
specify the encoding used in the source file.
"""
So according to him, docstrings' doctests with non-ascii
characters should work by default. So maybe my system setup
is somewhat broken. Could somebody please confirm/infirm
this by running the attached sample script on his system?
My system config:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (on linux)
python 2.4.1 with: sys.getdefaultencoding() == 'ascii'
and locale.getpreferredencoding() == 'ISO-8859-15'
$ file test_iso-8859-15.py
test_iso-8859-15.py: ISO-8859 English text
