New issue 710: Add support for unicode literals to https://bitbucket.org/pytest-dev/pytest/issue/710/add-support-for-unicode-literals-to
Jason R. Coombs: I like to use doctests for some use cases, and pytest makes inclusion of them in tests suites quite elegant. However, doctests have a particularly hard problem with Python2/3 compatibility (because unicode strings render as u'' in Python 2 and '' in Python 3). The NLTK project has built a [nose plugin](https://github.com/nltk/nltk/blob/develop/nltk/test/doctest_nose_plugin.py) to better support the disparity. I'd like to see pytest support this functionality as well. _______________________________________________ pytest-commit mailing list pytest-commit@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pytest-commit
