I saw in #python that someone was working on making doctest even more useful, and having some of the features of unittest (and I believe he was working on running doctests from unittests). I don't mind doctest in smaller quantities, and sphinx makes it look good on the user-facing side. When I'm teaching newcommers I used to avoid testing until the last possible moment (even in my AP CS class we never once had to have formal tests for our code...) to cover it, and it was scanty. Now I usually teach mostly full TDD with the doctest module, and then show them unittest later on. I think it makes the docstrings look ugly, but testing is more important than aesthetics. my 2c, - -- Corey Richardson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNyI+wAAoJEAFAbo/KNFvpyXoIAIjwW0cJh9/llWj4ZsLmL9YE IbnK9wHTurJFdMRt2l4FH1IlMRSBRzH+m5FBSVT/dfhgu4BA+BWDBx4Tif8ywt45 EIj1ratgD3qb7BPnBMA5f47ZAUlFMOKnFD8pUJibTYUM8uU5k7/7j9KSijj2Gwx4 LAjr9ESZV8cDrFh/wMZxWE5SuMqoKmQPBz7JLh+x54MJ2hdhwApcPOIgWSfMNxhX /8yMmUcOUcgnFJh85dMGhJ3fZA1xtgHmy1N9hNF/f0lP3FIY+hcLyrP7WKwLOzw+ wI5HF8hK663Fk9M7SZQe4Wu4jZKvvGIYJt1ag4tuFDpfW2jcaYzOWYUALhriZQ0= =4VOF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
