I'm trying to execute doc tests without writing to the filesystem (i.e. in the Python interpreter). I have something like:
""" Docstring: >>> n 6 """ # Code: n=6 import doctest doctest.testmod() The tests all pass when saving this text to a python script (as it should), but when I load this text into a string and run: code='"""\n>>> n\n6\n"""\nn=6\nimport doctest\ndoctest.testmod()' exec(code) I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "<string>", line 7, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.4/doctest.py", line 1841, in testmod for test in finder.find(m, name, globs=globs, extraglobs=extraglobs): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/doctest.py", line 851, in find self._find(tests, obj, name, module, source_lines, globs, {}) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/doctest.py", line 914, in _find for valname, val in getattr(obj, '__test__', {}).items(): AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'items' Can what I'm trying to do be done? Any help is greatly appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
