Have you tried reading the Fine Manual? If you don't have access to the Python documentation http://docs.python.org/3/library/doctest.html you can get interactive help at the interpreter. Launch the Python interactive interpreter, and then give these two commands: import doctest help(doctest.DocTestSuite) In particular, note that DocTestSuite takes a keyword argument: optionflags A set of doctest option flags expressed as an integer. So try passing optionFlags=doctest.IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL to the DocTestSuite. > 2) Is a way to ignore all 'package path' of exception but not message? > Something like: > ---cut--- > Traceback (most recent call last): > ... > ...MyError: 'details are not ignored!' > ---cut--- > see, ellipsis-prefix in MyError Have you tried it to see? Add this comment to your docstring, following the line which causes an exception: >>> example() #doctest: +ELLIPSIS Traceback (most recent call last): ... ...MyError: 'details are not ignored!' Does that do what you expect? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
