R. David Murray added the comment: This doesn't have anything to do with NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE.
In python3, <file>.write returns the number of bytes written, instead of None. If you add the 38 to the end of your test line, the test will pass. This is not a bug in doctest, but a difference in 'write' behavior between Python2 and Python3. You can write doctests that will pass on both by explicitly discarding the return value: >>> _ = sys.stdout.write("xxxx"). xxxx ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> invalid stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7981> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
