A comment by cwitty about my suggestion that every exception should be
doctested:
{{{
00:07 < cwitty> wstein: re your comment on #5098: I've added exceptions to
Sage that I have no idea how
to doctest.
00:07 < wstein> cwitty -- for that patch I think they would all be easy.
00:07 < wstein> I had that in mind.
00:07 < cwitty> I sort of suspect that hitting them may require working in
a number field of degree
several billion, but I'm not positive.
00:07 < wstein> cwitty -- at least you can give a reason for not
doctesting the ones you don't test.
00:08 < wstein> I don't mean for that to be some absolute rule.
00:08 < wstein> Just a general guideline.
00:08 < wstein> But you have a good point.
00:08 < wstein> I'll paste this to the ticket.
00:09 < wstein> The last thing I wrote in sage was something involving
gap.py and the "This should
never happen" exception.
00:09 < wstein> That can't be doctested :-)
00:09 < wstein> So you're right.
