New submission from Chris Jerdonek <chris.jerdo...@gmail.com>: When invoking doctest.DocTestSuite's constructor with a module that has no docstrings, doctest raises the following exception:
... File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python3.2/doctest.py", line 2280, in DocTestSuite raise ValueError(module, "has no tests") ValueError: (<module '[snip]' from '[snip]'>, 'has no tests') The error message is misleading because the exception is not raised for modules that have docstrings but no doctests, only for modules that have no docstrings. To be accurate, the message should be something like 'has no docstrings'. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 159022 nosy: cjerdonek priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: doctest.DocTestSuite error misleading when module has no docstrings type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14649> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
