I recently released a new version of doctest-mode [1], and I came across your email [2] (it was on the first page of google hits for "doctest-mode"). So I decided to have a go at getting doctest-mode to play nicely with mmm-mode. The result is available here: https://python-mode.svn.sf.net/svnroot/python-mode/trunk/python-mode/doctest-mode.el I still consider it alpha code (the version that's available for download on the official doctest-mode webpage [3] doesn't include the mmm-mode features), but it works pretty well for me. If you want to give it a spin, let me know what you think. The following should load everything you need: (autoload 'doctest-mode "doctest-mode" "doctest mode" t) (autoload 'doctest-register-mmm-classes "doctest-mode") (doctest-register-mmm-classes t t) It defines 2 classes. Quoting from the docstring for doctest-register- mmm-classes: > `doctest-docstring' > > Used to edit docstrings containing doctest examples in python- > mode. Docstring submode regions start and end with triple-quoted > strings (\"\"\"). In order to avoid confusing start-string > markers and end-string markers, all triple-quote strings in the > buffer are treated as submode regions (even if they're not > actually docstrings). Use (C-c % C-d) to insert a new doctest- > docstring region. When `doctest-execute' (C-c C-c) is called > inside a doctest-docstring region, it executes just the current > docstring. The globals for this execution are constructed by > importing the current buffer's contents in Python. > > `doctest-example' > > Used to edit doctest examples in text-editing modes, such as > `rst-mode' or `text-mode'. Docstring submode regions start with > optionally indented prompts (>>>) and end with blank lines. Use > (C-c % C-e) to insert a new doctest-example region.
