Peter, thanks for the quick response, but I don't quite understand what you're saying. I don't want to change doctest -- I want to find a way to make my example pass using doctest. doctest.testfile comes with lots of parameters, and I suspect if I knew how to do it I could pass in the correct parameters to make this example work. It's not what I actually want to document/test, it's a minimal example which demonstrates the problem. Thanks again. > > Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
