Steven D'Aprano <[email protected]> added the comment:
Have you tried calling multiline_output() in the REPL?
It does *not* show your expected output:
# expected
First line
Second line
but the string repr():
# actual
'First line\nSecond line\n'
Change your doctest to either:
>>> multiline_output()
'First line\\nSecond line\\n'
(note that you must escape the backslashes) or:
>>> print(multiline_output())
First line
Second line
<BLANKLINE>
Note that the "<BLANKLINE>" needs to be written literally, as described here:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/doctest.html#doctest.DONT_ACCEPT_BLANKLINE
