I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting. A guess: put the code that isn't to be seen in the __test__ dict with a string key being the name of the footnote? I don't think a ReST processor would like that much. It would see references to footnotes that are never defined. Or perhaps you're suggesting a non-ReST mechanism for the references? Also, for many of the use-cases we have, we do want the code in the test, just not in such a prominent place, and not repeated more than once. -- Benji York Senior Software Engineer Zope Corporation _______________________________________________ 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
