Ugh. That just seems like a lot of unreadable ugliness to me. If this comment magic is the only way to make that stuff execute properly under doctest, I think I'd rather just skip it in favor of clean, uncluttered, non-doctestable code samples in the docstrings. If the code that's currently in docstrings needs to be retained as test code, I'll gladly take the time to put it into a test_ module where it doesn't get in the way of documentation. I'll defer to the consensus, though. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
