That "should work", provided there aren't differences in whitespace that are invisible to us in this medium. For example, if, in your source file, there's actually a (one or more) trailing space on your line of expected output, then it would _not_ match the actual output. Try adding +REPORT_NDIFF to your #doctest options; that will point out all differences (including whitespace). _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
