Comment (by jdemeyer):
Replying to [comment:81 roed]:
> The main point of `--serial` is that it allows you to debug problems in
the doctesting framework without worrying about multiprocessing. :-)
I vote to completely remove the `--serial` option since for me the only
effect is that it makes the code more complicated. Consider for example:
{{{
except KeyboardInterrupt:
if result_pipe is None:
# We're in serial mode
raise
# Otherwise, we've been started by a worker: we'll return the
result in the finally block
result = 0, DictAsObject(dict(err='ctlC')), ""
[...]
finally:
if result_pipe is None:
return result
else:
result_pipe.put(result, False)
}}}
If I want to fix `KeyboardInterrupt`s in doctests, I now have to think
about ''two'' code paths instead of one.
