Announcing doctest-mode 0.4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Webpage: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~edloper/projects/doctestmode/ Walk-through: http://tinyurl.com/25bljc Subversion: https://python-mode.svn.sf.net/svnroot/python-mode/trunk/python-mode/ About doctest-mode ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "doctest-mode" is an Emacs major mode for editing text files that contain Python "doctest" examples. (Doctest is a testing framework for Python that emulates an interactive session, and checks the result of each command. For more information on doctest, see <http://docs.python.org/lib/module-doctest.html>). doctest-mode makes it easier to write and maintain doctest files, by providing: - Syntax highlighting of the prompts, source code, and expected output for each doctest example. - Editing support, including automatic indentation (similar to python-mode) and automatic prompt management. - Execution support, allowing you to run doctest directly from emacs, and examine the results in an output buffer. - Failure navigation, allowing you to quickly navigate between failed examples after you run doctest. - Output replacement, allowing you to easily update doctest examples with the correct output value. Improvements in Version 0.4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - improved syntax highlighting. - doctest is now run asynchronously by default. - added support for older versions of doctest (pre-Python 2.4) - editing the doctest buffer no longer causes doctest-mode to lose track of the correspondence between examples in the doctest buffer and results in the *doctest-output* buffer. - numerous bug-fixes. - new command: doctest-execute-region (C-c |). - improved portability between different emacs versions. Tested on: * XEmacs 21.4 (patch 17) [Lucid] (i386-debian-linux, Mule) * GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) * GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.3.0) * GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.0) Licesnse ~~~~~~~~ Copyright (C) 2004-2007 Edward Loper This software is provided as-is, without express or implied warranty.
