> In other words, whether there is a segfault or not depends on the
presence of tests that will never be executed because of the segfault.
That's assuming that the doctesting framework tests all examples *in
order*. I'm not 100% positive that that's the case. When I equipped a
bunch of tests with lines of the form
{{{
>>> 1
EXAMPLE 6
}}}
etcetera, the segfault vanished (of course!) but I didn't see all test
appear in numerical order. I guess I was just blocking that because of the
severe cognitive dissonance this was causing, but your remark now makes it
unavoidable to acknowledge. Perhaps if we equip every test with a line
{{{
>>> sys.stderr.write('testing test 6\n')
}}}
we may might be able to see the actual order in which the examples are
tested without preventing the doctest from happening. Perhaps when we
establish that, we can strip out the silly doctesting layer and just have
a plain python input file?
