(Forwarded from Python bug tracker) [ 1192554 ] doctest's ELLIPSIS and multiline statements
Tim Peters: [...] doctest has few syntax requirements, but the inability to start an expected output block with "..." has always been one of them, and is independent of the ELLIPSIS gimmick. I doubt this will change, in part because the complications needed to "do something about it" are probably pig ugly, in part because it's so rare a desire, and in part because there are easy ways to work around it (like arranging for the expected output to start with something other than '...'). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
