Tim Peters <t...@python.org> added the comment: Sergey, I understand that, but I don't care. The only people I've ever seen _use_ this are people writing an entirely different shell interface. They're rare. There's no value in complicating doctest to cater to theoretical use cases that don't exist - to the contrary, that's counterproductive complication.
As your IPython example showed, their job is harder than _just_ replacing PS1/PS2. See their `parse()` function. They want to cater both to IPython's PS1/PS2 conventions _and_ to the standard CPython terminal shell PS1/PS2 conventions. But they don't cater to _more_ than just those either. Why should they? Same thing here: extra complication for no good reason. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32832> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
