I don't remember, exactly, I was just grepping the diffs for DocTestFailureException. It's probably the bit that lets bin/test -c colorize things like diffs, and tracebacks in doctest failures. If that's the case, I'd truly hate to lose this feature, it helps me immensely.
OK, so that colorizing support could probably also be moved into stdlib. If someone (ie you, you seem to be on top of the problems) get diffs into the Python tracker then maybe we could get it into Python 2.7 and 3.2, which would be cool.
The only thing needed from doctest.py, AFAIU, is a custom exception class inheriting from AssertionError, so the test runner (which does the colorization) can distinguish doctest errors from regular assertion failures. It should be simple to monkey-patch this too, by setting DocTestCase.failureException, so we can support Python 2.5 through 3.1
How mechanical can such a transformation be? Is it sufficient to replace
zope.testing.doctest.DocFileSuite('foo.txt', **kw)
with
manuel.testing.TestSuite(manuel.doctest.Manuel(), 'foo.txt', **kw)
No idea, the Manuel experts need to answer that. :)
