An example's doctest directives modify doctest's behavior for that single
example. Use ``+`` to enable the named behavior, or ``-`` to disable it.
For example, this test passes::
For example, this test passes:
>>> print(list(range(20))) # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
.. doctest::
:no-trim-doctest-flags:
>>> print(list(range(20))) # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]
Without the directive it would fail, both because the actual output doesn't have
two blanks before the single-digit list elements, and because the actual output
is on a single line. This test also passes, and also requires a directive to do
so::
so:
>>> print(list(range(20))) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
.. doctest::
:no-trim-doctest-flags:
>>> print(list(range(20))) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
[0, 1, ..., 18, 19]
Multiple directives can be used on a single physical line, separated by
commas::
commas:
>>> print(list(range(20))) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS, +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
.. doctest::
:no-trim-doctest-flags:
>>> print(list(range(20))) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS, +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
[0, 1, ..., 18, 19]
If multiple directive comments are used for a single example, then they are
combined::
combined:
>>> print(list(range(20))) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
... # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
.. doctest::
:no-trim-doctest-flags:
>>> print(list(range(20))) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
... # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
[0, 1, ..., 18, 19]
As the previous example shows, you can add ``...`` lines to your example
containing only directives. This can be useful when an example is too long for
a directive to comfortably fit on the same line::

Floating-point numbers are also subject to small output variations across
platforms, because Python defers to the platform C library for float formatting,
