Could there be a difference in whitespace between the expected and received
output?
If this is the case, doctest can be configured to ignore differences in
whitespace via the NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE flag. For example:
>>> print ' a b c ' # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
a b c
You can also use the :options: option after a doctest directive to specify
flags. The following is similar to the previous example but has the added
benefit of preventing the flag from appearing in generated documents.
.. doctest::
:options: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
>>> print ' a b c '
a b c
