I think so, but what you need is:

>>> throwanexception() Traceback (most recent call last): ...  ...DesiredException: ... No you don't. From the manual: """ When the IGNOREEXCEPTIONDETAIL doctest option is is specified, everything following the leftmost colon is ignored. """

Note that the difference is before the leftmost colon.

Maybe that could be extended to also ignore everything up to a period (i.e., ignore the module name that seems to show up in 2.7 exception names, but not in previous versions).

That sounds good to me.
