I do not want to write two documentations for a module working both in Python 2.X and Python 3.X. To avoid that, I would need the ability to interpret doctests according to the used Python version.
I mean something like that: """ Documentation of the module <mymodule> ----------------------------------------------------------------- If you are using Python 2.X you can check that >>> <2.X code> # doctest: <some directive for 2.X> <2.X output> whereas if you are using Python 2.X you can check that >>> <3.X code> # doctest: <some directive for 3.X> <3.X output> Is something like that possible? If not, what are the options? 2to3 theoretically can converts the doctests, but in practice I have seen that the doctests for my decorator module needs some manual tweaking. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
