that's puzzling. I do lots of graphics, and some web programming (my
company's main product is a web application server for graphics), and
we use doctest for everything.
I find it a bit odd that someone thinks that there are tests for which
assert something == somevalue
is easier to write than either
>>> something
somevalue
or
>>> something == somevalue
True
