Dear list,

Is there a way to test a single docstring of a function/method, or all the docstrings in a specific class, and not an entire module?

This is useful when testing a long file, without copying the needed docstring to a new file. This is also different than TestSuite(obj).run(). Currently I could only find the run_doctests() functions that accepts modules, but not objects. Should I open a ticket to add support for objects, or a flag to the TestSuite to run the doctest (but not recursively)?

The command-line interface of the built-in unittest module in Python supports this usecase:
$ python -m unittest test_module.TestClass.test_method
to test a specific method.

Regards,
TB
