Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: In 3.1.2, where the docstring is unicode, the doctest of normalize works fine, as Karen said. I think she is right: without the encoding being explicitly passed to doctest, it cannot affect how the sub-interpreter used by doctest compiles the strings as code.
I am therefore closing this as invalid (or won't fix, or out-of-date). In any case, it strikes me as a feature request, and test modules, especially, should not be enhanced in bugfix releases. If one thinks of it as a bug, the bug was fixed in 3.0 but cannot be backported. ---------- nosy: +tjreedy resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed type: behavior -> feature request versions: +Python 2.7 -Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2811> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
