Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: doctests by their very nature tend to overspecify things - that's why actual regression tests should be written with unittest, while doctest is kept for its originally intended purpose of testing examples included in docstrings and other documentation.
Still, there's also a reason why IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL is an available doctest option. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13349> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
