If I do this: >>> import inspect >>> import test_doctests >>> method3 = test_doctests.Test.__dict__['method3'] >>> inspect.isfunction(method3) False >>> inspect.ismethod(method3) False But: >>> inspect.ismethoddescriptor(method3) True which is what I want to see. Presumably doctest.DocTestFinder needs a patch to call methoddescriptor's __get__ method. (BTW, classmethod, staticmethod and property are all special-cased by DocTestFinder.) -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
