Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Agreed - particularly since that corner case can still be tested through doctest if desired by using ELLIPSIS instead of IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL.
The patches mostly look good, but the doc changes should be updated to indicate that using ELLIPSIS doesn't handle the case of mismatched module names. E.g. """Note that :const:`ELLIPSIS` can also be used to ignore the details of the exception message, but such a test may still fail based on whether or not the module details are printed as part of the exception name. Using :const:`IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL` is also the only clear way to write a doctest that doesn't care about the exception detail yet continues to pass under Python releases prior to 2.4 (doctest directives appear to be comments to them).""" ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7490> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
