And they are definitely no unit tests. Instread they are diffs on lexical content of an executed session protocol of arbitrary size ( which might be customized using a mini language ). So they are sensitive to all kinds of ambient changes being irrelevant for the *functional unit* to be tested. I wish all people good luck porting their doctests to Python 3.0. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
