I think that printing the result of bool(effective_result==expected_result) is sufficient for testing purposes, and has the advantage of testing mathematical equality, not only string equality.
You may want to be more explicit when failing : you may try (something like) : res=bool(effective_result==expected_result) if not res: res="Expected : {} \nEffective : {}".format(expected_result, effective_result) print res That way, you can expect "True" as the result f the doctest, and still get hints about the failure if it fails.
