Here's a manual setup you might be able to adapt: import doctest from cStringIO import StringIO sample = """ >>> print "hello" hello >>> "hello" 'hello' """ globs = {} out = StringIO() parser = doctest.DocTestParser() test = parser.get_doctest(sample, globs, "<noname>", "<nofile>", 0) runner = doctest.DocTestRunner(verbose=True) runner.run(test, out=out.write) print out.getvalue() Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
