Changelog

v1.7.1 (2025-04-04)

This version fixes a packaging error of v1.7, where the wheel and sdist contained extra files and is identical to v1.7 otherwise.

v1.7 (2025-04-04)

  • Support python 3.13. The patch by Ben Beasley. Starting from python 3.13, the standard library doctest.DoctestRunner tracks the number of skipped doctests, in addition to the counts of attempted and failed doctests. We track this change, thus both the return value of DTRunner.run and DTRunner.get_history contain this count on python 3.13+ and do not contain it on prior python versions.

v1.6 (2024-12-17)

  • Fix a collection issue, where the DocTestFinder was missing docstrings of data descriptors. This is a workaround for an upstream issue, https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/127962. The patch by Matti Picus.

  • Fix a collection issue, where the DocTestFinder was missing docstrings of public methods inherited from a private superclass. This was causing issues with some SciPy docstrings not being checked.

v1.5.1 (2024-12-09)

  • Improve handling of NumPy’s abbreviation of large arrays: starting from version 2.2, NumPy displays the size of an array via a shape= argument:

>>> np.ones(10_000)
>>> array([1., 1., 1., ..., 1., 1., 1.], shape=(10000,))

We now ignore the shape= part on NumPy < 2.2 and check the value on newer versions.

v1.4 (2024-09-23)

  • Add a strict_check configuration flag to decide whether to require matching dtypes or rely on NumPy’s lax definition of equality:

>>> np.float64(3) == 3
True

  • Allow placing the # may vary modifier at either the source or the output of the doctest.

  • Fix an issue with local_resourses, tests opening external files. The patch is from Sheila Kahwai.

v1.3 (2024-06-22)

  • Fix the interaction with pytest assertion rewriting.

v1.2 (2024-06-08)

  • More robust handling of printed numpy arrays in doctests.

  • More robust checking of docstrings of deprecated functions.

  • Fix an issue with handling lists/tuples: previously, the checker did not distinguish lists from tuples or other array-likes. The patch is from Luiz Eduardo Amaral.

  • Fix an issue with the checker missing items for lists/tuples of mismatched lengths The patch is from Luiz Eduardo Amaral.

v1.1 (2024-05-15)

Implementation the pytest plugin layer. The bulk of work done by Sheila Kahwai. The preferred way to run the doctesting is now via pytest.

v1.0 (2023-07-13)

This is the first release of a standalone package, following the extraction of the core functionality from SciPy’s and NumPy’s refguide-check utilities.
