[Pyobjc-dev] NSObject, doctest

[Erik v. B. <er...@le...>]

Hey,

I have a small problem writing doctests for a module with a NSObject subclass. 
Here's a small test:

from AppKit import *
"""
An odd interaction between doctest and an NSObject subclass.
"""
class MyClass(NSObject):
   def __new__(cls, a, b):
       self = cls.alloc().init()
       self.a = a
       self.b = b
       return self

   def doSomething(self):
       return a+b

def _test():
   def testOne():
       """
       Test one
>>> m = MyClass(1,1)
>>> m.doSomething()
       2
       """
   import doctest
   doctest.testmod()

_test()

Here's the result, using Python 2.7.2 (default, Oct 11 2012, 20:14:37) and objc 2.3.2a0.

Is there something in the nature of pyobjc objects that makes them confuse doctest?
Thanks!
