I don't think it is a good idea to call the wrapped doctests automatically, but I do think it might be a good idea to detect and warn about anything which looks like it is a wrapper where the wrapped function includes a doctest and the wrapper doesn't. -- Duncan Booth http://kupuguy.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
