Yes, definitely, you can do that, and it is strongly *encouraged*. If you search around docs of other code in Sage you'll see hundreds of examples. Here's a typical example: sage: 1/0 Traceback (most recent call last): ... ZeroDivisionError: Rational division by zero Personally, I usually make doctests in the notebok and click on the "Text" link in the upper right. It will format the session so it is suitable for doctests.
