5.2.6.1 DocTest Objects

class `DocTest`( | examples, globs, name, filename, lineno, docstring)

  A collection of doctest examples that should be run in a single namespace. The constructor arguments are used to initialize the member variables of the same names. New in version 2.4.

`DocTest` defines the following member variables. They are initialized by the constructor, and should not be modified directly.

`examples`
  A list of `Example` objects encoding the individual interactive Python examples that should be run by this test.

`globs`
  The namespace (aka globals) that the examples should be run in. This is a dictionary mapping names to values. Any changes to the namespace made by the examples (such as binding new variables) will be reflected in `globs` after the test is run.

`name`
  A string name identifying the `DocTest`. Typically, this is the name of the object or file that the test was extracted from.

`filename`
  The name of the file that this `DocTest` was extracted from; or `None` if the filename is unknown, or if the `DocTest` was not extracted from a file.

`lineno`
  The line number within `filename` where this `DocTest` begins, or `None` if the line number is unavailable. This line number is zero-based with respect to the beginning of the file.

`docstring`
  The string that the test was extracted from, or `None` if the string is unavailable, or if the test was not extracted from a string.
