I think there was an example earlier - you could change your doctest
to not rely on the exact exception by catching it:
>>> try:
... 1/0
... except ZeroDivisionError:
... print "Divide by zero!"
...
Divide by zero!
>>>
Whether that counts as "too much effort or ugliness", I'm not sure.
Personally, my instinct is that having the whole traceback in a
doctest is at least as ugly.
