    Examples that access the operating system work:

    In [3]: !cat /tmp/foo
    hello

    In [4]: rm -f /tmp/foo

    It's OK to use '_' for the last result, but do NOT try to use IPython's
    numbered history of _NN outputs, since those won't exist under the
    doctest environment:

    In [7]: 3+4
    Out[7]: 7

    In [8]: _+3
