 """Nose Plugin that supports IPython doctests.
 
 Limitations:
 
 - When generating examples for use as doctests, make sure that you have
   pretty-printing OFF.  This can be done either by starting ipython with the
   flag '--nopprint', by setting pprint to 0 in your ipythonrc file, or by
   interactively disabling it with %Pprint.  This is required so that IPython
   output matches that of normal Python, which is used by doctest for internal
   execution.
 
 - Do not rely on specific prompt numbers for results (such as using
   '_34==True', for example).  For IPython tests run via an external process the
   prompt numbers may be different, and IPython tests run as normal python code
   won't even have these special _NN variables set at all.
 
 - IPython functions that produce output as a side-effect of calling a system
   process (e.g. 'ls') can be doc-tested, but they must be handled in an
   external IPython process.  Such doctests must be tagged with:
 
         # ipdoctest: EXTERNAL
 
   so that the testing machinery handles them differently.  Since these are run
   via pexpect in an external process, they can't deal with exceptions or other
   fancy featurs of regular doctests.  You must limit such tests to simple
   matching of the output.  For this reason, I recommend you limit these kinds
   of doctests to features that truly require a separate process, and use the
   normal IPython ones (which have all the features of normal doctests) for
   everything else.  See the examples at the bottom of this file for a
   comparison of what can be done with both types.
