While I firmly believe in keeping docs up to date, I don't think that doctests alone can solve the problem of maintaining data integrity in projects with more comlex interfaces (which is what I really meant to talk about. Sorry if my simplified examples led you to believe otherwise). For simple, deterministic functions like math.pow I think it's great, but for something like BaseHTTPServer... probably not. The __doc__'s required would be truly fascinating to behold. And probably voluminous and mostly unreadable for humans. Or is there something that I've misunderstood? /Joel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
