Copied from source of http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/doctest.html: An example's doctest directives modify doctest's behavior for that single example. Use ``+`` to enable the named behavior, or ``-`` to disable it. For example, this test passes:: >>> print(list(range(20))) #doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19] -- Vincent V.V.
