The OP's problem, i.e. the need to reimport modules in every docstring can easily be addressed by injecting the necessary names using extraglobs argument to doctest.testmod(). I like the following trick: def getextraglobs(): import StringIO, tempfile, ... return locals() doctest.testmod(extraglobs=getextraglobs()) This however does not solve a problem of cleanup after examples and some way to specify a tearDown fixture would be helpful, particularly because cleanup code in examples will rarely improve documentation. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4899> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
