[Python-Dev] doc tests failing (original) (raw)

What am I doing wrong?

I have tried:

hg update 3.5 # and hg update default make distclean && ./configure --with-pydebug && make -j2 cd Doc make doctest

and in both cases I get page after page of errors. I have tried installing python-sphinx and python3-sphinx; I have tried adding PYTHON=../python and PYTHON=python3 to the make doctest line -- all to no avail.

Here's a random sample of the errors:

File "library/shlex.rst", line ?, in default Failed example: remote_command Exception raised: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/doctest.py", line 1315, in __run compileflags, 1) in test.globs File "<doctest default[1]>", line 1, in remote_command NameError: name 'remote_command' is not defined
