compat.doctest.DocTestSuite API [rev. 38799]

def DocTestSuite(module=None, globs=None, extraglobs=None, test_finder=None, **options):

Convert doctest tests for a module to a unittest test suite. This converts each documentation string in a module that contains doctest tests to a unittest test case. If any of the tests in a doc string fail, then the test case fails. An exception is raised showing the name of the file containing the test and a (sometimes approximate) line number. The `module` argument provides the module to be tested. The argument can be either a module or a module name. If no argument is given, the calling module is used. A number of options may be provided as keyword arguments: setUp A set-up function. This is called before running the tests in each file. The setUp function will be passed a DocTest object. The setUp function can access the test globals as the globs attribute of the test passed. tearDown A tear-down function. This is called after running the tests in each file. The tearDown function will be passed a DocTest object. The tearDown function can access the test globals as the globs attribute of the test passed. globs A dictionary containing initial global variables for the tests. optionflags A set of doctest option flags expressed as an integer.
