The doctest module is good for narrative tests (ensuring that examples in documentation actually work as written), but poor for unit testing. Both functions are useful, but each should use a different tool <URL:http://bemusement.org/diary/2008/October/23/narrative-tests>. Not entirely related to the limitation you've found, and I don't know from your explanation whether you're mixing the two purposes, but it's worth pointing out in case you are. -- \ “I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in | `\ my body.
