I in no way meant your code is trivial. Although I'm starting to think you
did that "import __future__" trick with the sole reason to confuse :-)

I'm actually thinking of running doctests on *.java files and not on *.py
files, so the current doctest.py wouldn't be 100% usable.

class Obj {
    /**
        "Three" is the number it should print. And the number of the
printing should be "three":
        This is a usage example written in Jython...maybe.

        >>> Obj.f()
        3

    */
    public static void f() {
        System.out.println(3);
    }
}

That's it. It can't be helped. I'm spending my weekend on this :-)
