gh-108303: Move all doctest related files and tests to Lib/test/test_doctest/

[sobolevn]

• Issue: Move test files into test subdirectories #108303

[vstinner]

Calling list.pop(0) frequently is inefficient. Maybe the constructor should create a collections.deque() and call self.lines.popleft() instead?

[sobolevn]

It is usually used in cases like sys.stdin = FakeInput(['next', 'print(x)', 'continue']), I don't think it matters much. But, I can do this if you want :)

I solved merge conflicts, cc @vstinner

Since we are moving code, would it be worth it to split test_doctest.py which has 3 374 lines into multiple files? I found the following tests / test cases:

• SampleClass
• sample_func
• SampleNewStyleClass
• test_CLI
• test_debug
• test_DocFileSuite
• test_DocTest
• test_DocTestFinder
• test_DocTestParser
• test_DocTestRunner
• test_DocTestSuite
• test_Example
• test_exception_with_multiple_notes
• test_exception_with_note
• test_lineendings
• test_look_in_unwrapped
• test_no_trailing_whitespace_stripping
• test_pdb_set_trace
• test_pdb_set_trace_nested
• test_run_doctestsuite_multiple_times
• test_syntax_error_subclass_from_stdlib
• test_syntax_error_with_incorrect_expected_note
• test_syntax_error_with_note
• test_testfile
• test_testmod
• test_testsource
• test_trailing_space_in_test
• test_unicode
• test_unittest_reportflags

For example, it would be nice to have 1000 lines or less per file. If you are interested to make such change, I suggest creating a new PR, so we can compare.

About test_doctest2: why is it a separated file? Should it be renamed? The docstring says:

A module to test whether doctest recognizes some 2.2 features, like static and class methods.

I suppose that 2.2 stands for Python 2.2.

Is it a test on the "parser" or "test discovery"?

I don't think so, because moving a file is a rather simple operation. It does not spoil git blame. While splitting files can be devastating to its history.

I work with test_doctest quite a lot, I don't think that it has maintability problems.

I agree that the naming of this file is not optimal. It also clashes with test_doctest2.txt, I don't think that this is intentional.

Looks like that all tests from it are just duplicates. We already test classes, classmethods, staticmethods and everything else in test_doctest. So, it can be simply removed.

It has some details that I want to explicitly port:

• property with a setter
• poluting namespace with other objects

[vstinner]

I cannot see where Lib/test/test_doctest2.py test goes. Did you just remove it?

[sobolevn]

Yes:

I'm not convinced that test_doctest2 is useless. It calls doctest.testmod(sys.modules[__name__]) and test_doctest2.py contains 2 non-ASCII docstrings. Example:

"""...We include some (random) encoded (utf-8) text in the text surroundingthe example. It should be ignored:ЉЊЈЁЂ"""

It runs tests in verbose mode instead of running them in quiet mode:

• test_doctest: doctest.testmod(unicodedata, verbose=False) (quiet)
• test_doctest2: doctest.testmod(sys.modules[__name__]) (verbose)

Even we agree that test_doctest2 is useless, I would prefer to not include this silent removal in the middle of such huge refactoring (move all tests code).

Please add back test_doctest2.py in the new test_doctest/ directory.

Merged, thanks.

@sobolevn: The automated backport to 3.11 failed, do you want to attempt to backport the change to 3.11 manually?

Sure thing!
