You mentioned use of '...' / ELLIPSIS, IIRC, so I assumed that would work -- but it seems not, from your latest post (that I'm replying to here). > It's not possible to add a new doctest option > in 2.5 that would allow a doctest to work under both 2.4 and 2.5: the > test would blow up under 2.4, because 2.4's doctest wouldn't recognize > the (new in 2.5) option, and would raise a ValueError of its own > griping about the unknown option name. <slaps forehead> [...] > """ >>>> import decimal >>>> try: >>>> 1 / decimal.Decimal(0) >>>> except decimal.DivisionByZero: >>>> print "good" > good > """ Yes, that works, I see. Kind of annoying of course, but can't be helped. Hmm, will 2.5's doctest work under Python 2.4? I guess that's not guaranteed, since I don't see any comment in doctest.py implying it needs to be compatible with old Pythons. > Oddly enough, ELLIPSIS doesn't actually work for this purpose: [...] John _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
