pytest-scipydoctest

Doctests on steroids

This pytest plugin was generated with Cookiecutter along with @hackebrot's cookiecutter-pytest-plugin template.

Note This is a proof-of-concept experiment, likely to be postponed or abandoned in favor of https://github.com/ev-br/scpdt

Features

Clone the repo and pip install it:

$ pip install .

Test-drive:

$ cd tests
$ pytest -pno:doctest --doctest-modules  mod.py -v -s

Here mod.py is simply:

def func():
    """
    >>> 2 / 3
    0.667
    """
    pass

Note that the doctest passes, even though it fails with the vanilla doctest module.
