I'm an admitted newb trying to enter the Python community and use Python
significantly (versus occassionally). dockets seems to be much more powerful
than I can figure out how to tap.
I have a function inside a file that's an embedded test that (currently) works
fine. However, the package has a ton of these, and running all of the tests on
all functions just to check the changed function is very time consuming. I
can't make heads or tails out of what the manual means. I've read section 25.2
and think I understand it, but clearly do not.
What I do is:
>>> import doctest
>>> doctest.run_docstring_examples("functionname",globs[name="filename.py"])
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I've also tried
import filename
help(filename.functionname)
(works fine)
doctest.run_docstring_examples("filename.functionname")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: run_docstring_examples() missing 1 required positional argument:
'globs'
Now, if I do
>>> doctest.run_docstring_examples("sigp.frfestH1",globs=None)
nothing happens.
Everything works fine from a command line:
bash:> python filename.py (I have the end of the file set to run doctest per
easily found numerous examples)
except I have a ridiculous lag due to running tests that are unnecessary.
Trying to send options doesn't work either
bash:> python -m
'doctest.run__docstring_examples("filename.functionname",globs="")' filename.py
/opt/local/bin/python: Error while finding spec for
'doctest.run__docstring_examples("sigp.frfestH1",globs="")' (<class
'ImportError'>: No module named 'doctest.run__docstring_examples("sigp';
'doctest' is not a package)
or
bash:> python -m 'doctest.run__docstring_examples("functionname",globs=None)'
filename.py
/opt/local/bin/python: Error while finding spec for
'doctest.run__docstring_examples("sigp.frfestH1",globs="")' (<class
'ImportError'>: No module named 'doctest.run__docstring_examples("sigp';
'doctest' is not a package)
I appreciate your efforts to address my cluelessness.
Thank You,
Joe
