Sorry for the sloppy writing. Thanks for clarifying. I wrote: > If unittest is the standard way to write test code, why do we still > have doctest?

(I notice there's no mention in PEP 3000 of > deprecating either module). Also, as an aside, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with porting something from Java (or Smalltalk, or any other language). Such ported software may or may not be a good fit for Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
