Hello all.
I'm using Python 2.6.4 and Python 3.1.1.
My wish is to code in a 3.1-compliant way using 2.6, so I'm importing
the __future__ module.
I've found a funny thing comparing the two folliwing snippets that
differ for one line only, that is the position of __future__ import
(before or after the doc string).
Well, I understand the subtle difference but still I wander what
really happen behind the scenes.
Comments are welcome.
---------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
'''
>>> concat('hello','world')
'hello world'
'''
from __future__ import unicode_literals
def concat( first, second ):
return first + ' ' + second
if __name__ == "__main__":
import doctest
doctest.testmod()
---------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python

'''

def concat( first, second ):
return first + ' ' + second
if __name__ == "__main__":
import doctest
doctest.testmod()
---------------------------------------
The first way shows the following failure:

Failed example:
concat('hello','world')
Expected:
'hello world'
Got:
u'hello world'
