[Chicago] Jython and doctests

[Feihong Hsu]

Yeah, at the very least I would expect the doctest module to work with Jython 2.5 alpha.

Have you just tried it?  The doctest module is pure python.  I don't know much about it's internals (or diddly about Java), but it might Just Work on Jython.

I'm thinking of something quite different.

I'm sure everyone's tired of my junit rants, but let me reiterate: I hate junit. I'd like to test Java  by writing "doctest code" in a txt file that uses Jython's standard interface into the VM. I was wondering if any of our resident Jython users have seen/heard of this.

This would be possible with jpype, but that introduces CPython into the mix, which isn't needed in this case.

Has anyone out there seen Jython+doctests used as an alternative to

massively sucky junit framework for testing Java apps?

Not sure if this is what you meant or not but I had heard that
someone
ported Doctest to Java.  This was the first Google hit:
http://code.google.com/p/doctestj/ ... but if that is it then I'm
afraid they missed the point of Doctest entirely :(
