Or just using a different shell interface. Or even different defaults for the standard shell... And they are not rare. Almost nobody in reality use CPython shell - that's definitely true for scientific applications of Python, data scientists, etc. > As your IPython example showed, their job is harder than _just_ replacing > PS1/PS2. Yes, custom shells have much more stuff (In/Out arrays, etc), but changing PS1/PS2 - require very tiny modifications for doctest. And such changes - almost all that usually prevent using standard doctest for testing examples, written for applications, which assume "a different shell interface" (which, I remind, may be just a plain CPython shell with customized ps1/ps2). ---------- _______________________________________ 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
