As the community (apparently) strongly favors "doctest" over "unittest", I wrote my first test based on "zope.testing.doctest". And promptly, I was badly surprised....
In order to analyse a difficult problem, I added "from dm.pdb import zpdb; zpdb.set_trace()" in the doctest ("dm.pdb.zpdb" is my Zope aware PDB extension)
The standard PDB works fine. I'm sure you're extended version can be tweaked to as well.
Does a documentation exist how "doctest" manipulates "set_trace" and what it expects that the manipulation succeeds. Apparently, "doctest" has replaced my "set_trace" in "zpdb" by its non working implementation of "set_trace". I can understand that my "set_trace" would not have worked (as probably "sys.stdout/err" points somewhere else then usual), but I have difficulties to understand why "doctest"'s "set_trace" does not work (at all). -- Dieter
