23.2.6.4 DocTestParser objects

class `DocTestParser`( | )

  A processing class used to extract interactive examples from a string, and use them to create a `DocTest` object. New in version 2.4.

`DocTestParser` defines the following methods:

`get_doctest`( | string, globs, name, filename, lineno)

  Extract all doctest examples from the given string, and collect them into a `DocTest` object.

  globs, name, filename, and lineno are attributes for the new `DocTest` object. See the documentation for `DocTest` for more information.

`get_examples`( | string[, name])

  Extract all doctest examples from the given string, and return them as a list of `Example` objects. Line numbers are 0-based. The optional argument name is a name identifying this string, and is only used for error messages.

`parse`( | string[, name])

  Divide the given string into examples and intervening text, and return them as a list of alternating `Example`s and strings. Line numbers for the `Example`s are 0-based. The optional argument name is a name identifying this string, and is only used for error messages.
