John, I do not follow you in your message. Surely the doctests have a double purpose (documentation+test), but nothing prevents you from writing a good documentation on one side with "# not tested" flags (so that the tests are informative to the users) while keeping in a 'TEST' sections some doctests dedicated to checking that the methods works, even though they would be hard to follow for the users.
If this is why this file is long to test, well, then that can be arranged. Nathann -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
