I'm just checking in... is there any preferred way to do doctests with py.test now?

No, there is no prefered way yet. To properly integrate it into py.test I still need to look up the exact mechanics of doctests and solve two issues i think: - how to integrate them into the collecting process - how to report them (the current report logic has a two unittest-specific view with respect to reports about failing tests)

Holger mentioned something, but he hadn't integrated reporting yet or something. But fancy reporting or not, I'd like to run those doctests too... I can dig up that old recipe I posted a while ago, but maybe there's a better way to do it now.

Your old recipe would not work unmodified because there is no 'extpy' anymore. Actually i'd like to write some documentation about the (refactored) collecting process and think about how to integrate them into the collecting process.

Does doctest.DocTestSuite() work okay?

Sorry, I am not exactly sure what you are refering to here.

I haven't looked at the unittest compatibility since it was mentioned.

There is no general unittest compatibility, except for running certain regression tests via py.test on PyPy. At some point i want to factor out the PyPy hacks into a generally useful compatible runner of traditional unittests but that's not too high on my priority list. cheers, holger
