New submission from Charles-Axel Dein: I just thought that using pprint.pprint was an elegant solution to the non-deterministic order of repr(dict) in doctest. See for instance http://bugs.python.org/issue3332
Contrary to sorted(foo().items()): - It provides a nice output that is exactly like a dict. - It supports any number of nested dicts. - It can be used in other cases as well to make doctests elegant. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: pprint_doctest.patch keywords: patch messages: 208526 nosy: charlax, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Recommend using pprint for deterministic doctest type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file33560/pprint_doctest.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20310> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
