Overall, I believe the abs(actual-expected)<tiny_number approach is the only practical way to handle doctests. The expected numeric result is still available, just not on a line by itself.
Crazy idea: What if we introduce a "# numeric 1e-10" doctest flag (like #optional, etc.) that does just that---reads in the doctest answer, gets the output of the function, and does an abs(actual-expected)< epsilon (where epsilon can be specified in the flag, or it has a default).
sage: some_numerical_function() # numeric 1e-6 3.43234454 passes if abs(real result-3.43234454)<1e-6 Jason -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
