doctests have special rules for exceptions that are different from the rules of normal output matching.If a statement raises an exception, the output part must be of the form Traceback (most recent call last): ... <exception type>: <exception value> You can use ellipsis in the exception value part, IIRC.
But I wouldn't recommend using them. Sometimes, using ellipses are fine, but generally they obfuscate the doctest when you're reading it. I suggesting using the regex-normalizer [1]. There are many packages out there that use it if you're looking for examples.
