sys.modules["__main__"] in Jython
Would someone with Jython experience check to see if it interprets sys.modules["__main__"] in the same manner as Python? I'm interested to see if doctest's normal usage can be simplified slightly. The doctest documentation states: In normal use, end each module M with: def _test(): import doctest, M # replace M with your module's name return doctest.testmod(M) # ditto if __name__ == "__main__": _test() I'm wondering if this works for Jython as well as Python: def _test(): import doctest, sys return doctest.testmod(sys.modules["__main__"]) if __name__ == "__main__": _test() If so, then I think doctest.testmod's signature can be changed to def testmod(m=None, name=None, globs=None, verbose=None, isprivate=None, report=1): with the following extra code added to the start of the function: if m is None: import sys m = sys.modules["__main__"] That way the most common doctest usage can be changed to def _test(): import doctest return doctest.testmod() if __name__ == "__main__": _test() (I ran into a problem with a module that had initialization code that barfed if executed more than once.) Of course, these changes are ultimately Tim's decision. I'm just trying to knock down various potential hurdles. Thx, Skip
