dtopt ===== When using the `doctest <http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-doctest.html>`_ module it is often convenient to use the ELLIPSIS option, which allows you to use ``...`` as a wildcard. But you either have to setup the test runner to use this option, or you must put ``#doctest: +ELLIPSIS`` on *every* example that uses this feature. ``dtopt`` lets you enable this option globally from within a doctest, by doing:: >>> from dtopt import ELLIPSIS (The options ``NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE`` and ``COMPARE`` are also available) You can install this from `the subversion repository <http://svn.colorstudy.com/dtopt/trunk/#egg=dtopt-dev>`_ with ``easy_install dtopt==dev``.
