This routine: - imports doctest but does NOT reload it (see below). - resets its global 'master' attribute to None, so that multiple uses of the module interactively don't produce cumulative reports. - Monkeypatches its core test runner method to protect it from IPython's modified displayhook. Doctest expects the default displayhook behavior deep down, so our modification breaks it completely. For this reason, a hard monkeypatch seems like a reasonable solution rather than asking users to manually use a different doctest runner when under IPython. Notes ----- This function *used to* reload doctest, but this has been disabled because reloading doctest unconditionally can cause massive breakage of other doctest-dependent modules already in memory, such as those for IPython's own testing system. The name wasn't changed to avoid breaking people's code, but the reload call isn't actually made anymore.""" import doctest doctest.master = None doctest.DocTestRunner.run = dhook_wrap(doctest.DocTestRunner.run)
