Summary: enhancements for doctest
Initial Comment:
1) Add a method, doctest.regen(outputfile,
module=None), which creates a copy of the module
but with the test results unconditionally updated.
This is similar in spirit to the -g option for regrtest.py.
The principal use case is to handle a situation where
only the output formatting has changed, but the
internal logic is unchanged (suppose, for instance,
that L stopped appearing at the end of long integers).
2) Add options for sloppy test matches:
doctest.testmod(mymod, strictdictorder=False,
exactfloats=False). The default should continue to be
strict.
The goal is to make doctest easier to use and
produce more readable documentation by eliminating
the gyrations to avoid dependencies on dictionary
order or exact floating point results. Replace this:
>>> r = mydict.items()
>>> r.sort()
>>> r
[('eggs',1), ('spam', 2)]
>>> round(1./7, 5)
0.14285999999999999
with this:
>>> mydict.items()
[('eggs',1), ('spam', 2)]
>>> 1./7
0.14285714285714285
3) Since the interactive session may have been
produced in IDLE instead of the command line, don't
depend on PS2 being equal to "...".
If the first line after '>>>' startswith('...'), then
continue to use '...', but if it doesn't, then continue to
read input until a black line is encountered (i.e. match
the logic used by IDLE).

These don't all seem like a great idea anymore.
