Dear Steven, thanks for the help. I am aware that I might have used the SKIP directive (as I hinted in my mail). Even if the fine manual suggests to do so I don't agree with it, though. The reason is simple: SKIP as the name suggests causes the code not to be run at all, it doesn't ignore the output. If you use a SKIP directive on code that contains a typo, or maybe you changed the name of a keyword to make it more meaningful and forgot to update your docstring, then the error won't be caught.
For example: .. doctest:: example >>> printt "Hello, World!" # doctest: +SKIP "Hello, World!" would pass the test. Since I am writing a tutorial for people that have even less experience than me with Python, I want be sure that the code in my examples runs just fine. > > (There's no need to convert things to str before printing them.) > You are right, I modified an example that uses x in one of my functions that requires a string in input, and didn't change that. Thanks again for the help anyway, Cheers, Luca -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
