I am getting trouble with nested triple quoted strings in doctest.
For instance
$ cat x.py
"""
>>> dummy = '''
something
here
'''
"""
import doctest; doctest.testmod()
$ python x.py
**********************************************************************
File "x.py", line 2, in __main__
Failed example:
dummy = '''
Exception raised:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/doctest.py", line 1243, in __run
compileflags, 1) in test.globs
File "<doctest __main__[0]>", line 1
dummy = '''
^
SyntaxError: EOF while scanning triple-quoted string
**********************************************************************
Is this a know bug? Any workaround? Thanks for comments,
Michele Simionato
