Again, not for the average user, bit if the hypothetical six month bug

Maybe an example can help. Because I don't understand why...

I'm not saying that the *format* makes them easier to maintain, I'm
saying that the format *encourages* the developer to make more
maintainable tests. If your second example had the customary
interstitial paragraphs talking about what's going on it would be easier
for a maintainer to understand.
(btw, through all this, I assume that Jims fix for the doctest
debugging problem that he mentioned did work, and that you now can
insert an import pdb;pdb.set_trace() in the middle of the doctests.
Right?)
Yep.
