Beautiful! Thanks very much. For the archives, here is my standard
module-testing idiom now:
def _test():
import doctest, sys
doctest.testmod(sys.modules[__name__])
if __name__ == "__main__":
_test()
Now, when I execute the module directly, it will test itself; and if I
need to test it from the outside (for example, under pdb) I can import
the module and then run themodule._test().
To whom should I make the suggestion that this go into doctest docs?
Cheers,
- Joe
