[ 1192554 ] doctest's ELLIPSIS and multiline statements
Tim Peters:
[...]
doctest has few syntax requirements, but the
inability to start an expected output block with "..." has
always been one of them, and is independent of the
ELLIPSIS gimmick
Done.

I would file a bug report/documentation bug/feature
request or whatever to sourceforge.

Doh ! Obviously ... too bad.
I guess that I could set doctest.ELLIPSIS_MARKER to "[...]" to
distinguish
the two usages of "...". (The "..." used for multiline statements is
hard-coded
into a regular expression pattern).
But it feels too hackish, ELLIPSIS_MATKER being not described in the
docs ..
I think doctest believes the line starting with ... is
a continuation line in a multiline statement.

Hi,
Can anybody come up with a sensible argument that would explain
why the following test should fail ? (Expected: nothing, Got: 42).
cheers,
S.B.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import doctest
def test():
"""
>>> print 42 #doctest: +ELLIPSIS
...
