And if you ignore the output, the error won't be caught either. What's the difference? >>> 1 + 1 #doctest:+IGNORE_OUTPUT (not a real directive) 1000 Since doctest is ignoring the output, it won't catch the failure. Even if your code raises an exception, if you ignore the output, you'll never see the exception because it is ignored. So you simply can't do what you want. You can't both ignore the output of a doctest and have doctest report if the test fails. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
