Doctests are for human consumption, as well as automated testing, and I find the above nested if statements hard to visually parse. If one wants, one can do sage: m = None sage: m = massive_calculation() # long time sage: if m: ...: m.do_something() Also, I think -t -long should be a superset of plain old -t, as should all extra testing options. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
