The Fine Manual says that the directive you want is #doctest:+SKIP. http://docs.python.org/2/library/doctest.html#doctest.SKIP Although it's not explicitly listed as a directive, every option flag corresponds to a directive. So your example becomes: >>> import random >>> x = random.uniform(0,100) >>> print x #doctest:+SKIP 42.012345678901234 (There's no need to convert things to str before printing them.) -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
