but I never see that the README.txt is ever 'fixed'. Indeed, the test fails because of a syntax error when the doctest tries to print something using Python 2 syntax. I'm clearly not using this setup argument correctly, but I can't tell where I'm going wrong.
How do you use convert_2to3_doctests?
Exactly like this. Note, however, that Distribute doesn't know that the file isn't already converted. It will look at the timestamps of the files, notice it hasn't changed, and do nothing. So you need to delete the target file in build/ and rerun the tests to have it run the conversion.
Hi Lennart, thanks for the response. However, I don't think this is quite it. I read this in the docs and deleted the entire build directory. Then when I re-run the tests I can see that the .py files get "fixed" but it never tries to fix the README.txt. -Barry
