[New-bugs-announce] [issue15178] Doctest should handle situations when test files are not readable

[Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda]

New submission from Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda <bkabrda at redhat.com>:

Hi,
I think that doctest should be able to handle situations when the file that is being tested does not exist/is unreadable/etc...
Currently, doctest raises an IOError exception and the whole Python ends with an exception and backtrace.
I'm attaching a patch that fixes this and prints a simple description of what has gone wrong.

Thanks for considering!
