reached through a symlink (was comparing path of module to path to function and
were not matching because of the symlink).  os.path.realpath() is now used to
solve this discrepency.

Closes bug #570300.  Thanks Johannes Gijsbers for the fix.

them (which they are now), I had to rewrite the code to understand
it.  This has got to be the most DWIM part of doctest -- but in context
is really necessary.

any results)

this depends on a new feature in Expat added in 1.95.8

There were subsections without sections, so drop a sub.

[ 1005891 ] support --with-tsc on PPC

plus a trivial change to settscdump's docstring and a Misc/NEWS entry.

[ 1004703 ] Make func_name writable

plus fixing a couple of nits in the documentation changes spotted by MvL

habit of these, sorry).

[ 1005248 ] new.code() not cleanly checking its arguments

using the result of new.code() can still destroy the sun, but merely
calling the function shouldn't any more.

I also rewrote the existing tests of new.code() to use vastly less
un-bogus arguments, and added tests for the previous insane behaviours.

Backported to 2.3.

Backported to 2.3.

(rather than replacing <BLANKLINE> with blank lines in `got`).  This
makes it easier to see what's intended.

  visually distinguish the expected output from the comments (use
  "##" to mark expected outputs, and "#" to mark comments).
- If the string given to DocTestParser.get_program() is indented, then
  strip its indentation.  (In particular, find the min indentation of
  non-blank lines, and strip that indentation from all lines.)

- Added comments for some regexps
- If the traceback type/message don't match, then still print full
  traceback in report_failure (not just the first & last lines)
- Renamed DocTestRunner.__failure_header -> _failure_header

  modify option flags for a single example; they do not turn options
  on or off.)
- Added "indent" and "options" attributes for Example
- Got rid of add_newlines param to DocTestParser._parse_example (it's
  no longer needed; Example's constructor now takes care of it).
- Added some docstrings

  option flags); and use it to define the existing optionflag
  constants.
