Fred Drake 7a6b4f0284 more markup chages 2003-07-17 16:00:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 8836e567b9 - remove mention of the isprivate flag, since that isn't directly
documented here, and according to Tim, should never have been there
- misc. cleanups for consistency

Raymond Hettinger 943277ecd3 Minor corrections. 2003-07-17 14:47:12 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 71adf7e9d8 Doctest now examines all docstrings by default. Previously, it would
skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention).  The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently.  Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions.  The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester().  The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.

Tim Peters 6ebe61fa80 A hack to ease compatibility with pre-2.3 Pythons: by default, doctest
now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False"
versus "0".  This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much
more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3.  I expect
it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten.  In the meantime, there's
a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional
argument, if you want to turn this behavior off.

Note that this substitution is very simple-minded:  the expected and
actual outputs have to consist of single tokens.  No attempt is made,
e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0].  This is a
simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.

Fred Drake 19f3c52347 Work around the broken formatting of sys.ps1 prompts in running text.
Move sample sessions to the left margin of the file for consistency;
formatting can adjust the margin if needed.

This closes SF bug #133213.

Tim Peters f0768c822b Added missing \item. See also bug 133213, about damaged HTML generated
for \code(">>>"); don't know how to fix that one.

Tim Peters c4089d84d8 In the example showing the irrelevance of start columns, restore that the
start columns differ (editing had pushed them all into column 0).

Checking in Moshe's patch after rewrapping some paragraphs (to consume
fewer columns) and repairing that I/2.**J lost the I.
