Thank you for your replies Jeff & Tim. The snippet I submitted is
unfortunate,
since I was writing an example (for a Python course I am going to give
in
September) to show that you cannot reliably assume that you will get
exactly 9 dots, because of the limitations of 'sleep'. Mindlessly, I
have

I don't see the problem with your doctest usage, but what makes you believe that
the code you show below produces exactly 9 dots?
strangely enough, re-working the code to this
>>> import time, threading
>>> def example():
... thread.out = []
... for i in range(9): thread.out.append(".")
>>
I am getting a strange error with this script:
$ cat doctest-threads.py
"""
>>> import time, threading
>>> def example():
... thread.out = []
... while thread.running:
... time.sleep(.01)
... thread.out.append(".")
>>> thread = threading.Thread(None, example)
>>> thread.run
