If it's a bug it would have to be in doctest, since the format of traceback messages is explicitly *not* part of the Python API. In what way is the doctest ellipsis support not sufficient for this case? --David (RDM) _______________________________________________ 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
