Almost nowhere. But, if you have a DSL that operates in a imperative fashion (giving commands, rather than returning results in a functional fashion) you might do something like: +tracing command() command() -tracing which is modelled after the doctest directives: # doctest: +SKIP # doctest: -NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE etc. I don't think this imperative style is a really good fit for Python's syntax, but it could work for some people. -- Steve
