Marco Buttu added the comment:
I think the indentation is a problem, for several reasons. In all the examples
in the documentation, the form by using the interactive shell is the following:
>>> class MyClass:
... pass
otherwise:
class MyClass:
pass
This one is awful:
>>> class MyClass:
pass
and in fact it is no used in the doc. So if you want to put the class clause in
the interactive shell, you have to add the dots to indent the suite of the
compound statement, in order to be consistent with the rest of all the
documentation.
But it is not just a problem of beauty:
$ python -m doctest descriptor.rst
**********************************************************************
File "descriptor.rst", line 165, in descriptor.rst
Failed example:
class MyClass(object):
Exception raised:
...
class MyClass(object):
^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
...
By applying the patch, the definitions of the classes RevealAccess and MyClass
pass the documentation test. The whole example does not pass in any case,
because you are not consistent using the shell notation.
