[Zope3-dev] doctest, functional doctests and pep263 encoding

[Sidnei da Silva]

Looks like Jim added support for pep263 coding to doctest.py at some point.

However, that doesn't quite play with functional doctests it seems.

The issue is that functional doctests usually do:

  >>> print http(r"....

... and when the response value is printed it's converted to a
string. But if you set coding in your functional doctest file then the
expected value is a unicode string. If you have a non-ascii char in
your response value, *bang*, it bombs with a unicode error.

Anyone else experienced this?
