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.

it.  This has got to be the most DWIM part of doctest -- but in context
is really necessary.

[ 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.

(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
