dutest 0.1.0

An object-oriented API to test doctests while unittest runs.

An object-oriented API to test doctests while unittest runs.

It is different from the Pyhton 2.4 doctest unittest API because:

• Provides unittest loaders to load test cases out of doctests. Other loaders allow users to extract TestCase instances out of TestCase descendants and doctests (and any other format) in a single step.

• Test analysis require no further parsing because unittest TestResult instances report whether individual examples have been successfully executed, or otherwise have failed or raised an unexpected exception. Formerly TestResult objects contained the whole report outputted by doctest module.

• Adds object orientation and eliminates functions with big signatures.

• Allows to parameterize the doctest run via doctest options, like before…
