I concur with Raymond. Doctest should test the representation, not value.
But I think it would be nice to support insignificant variations of the
representation. Tracebacks already are treated specially, and different doctest
options allow to ignore particular details. Of course ignoring the whole
content of the dictionary will be not very useful.
>>> dict_fun() # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
{...}
But maybe some option should make accepting some permutations in the output.
E.g.
>>> dict_fun() # doctest: +PERMUTATION
{<'foo': 1>, <'bar': 2>}
should accept both "{'foo': 1, 'bar': 2}" and "{'bar': 2, 'foo': 1}".
