doctest integration for modules and test files.
=========================================================
By default all files matching the ``test*.txt`` pattern will
be run through the python standard ``doctest`` module. You
can change the pattern by issuing::
py.test --doctest-glob='*.rst'
on the command line. You can also trigger running of doctests
from docstrings in all python modules (including regular
python test modules)::
py.test --doctest-modules
You can make these changes permanent in your project by
putting them into a conftest.py file like this::
# content of conftest.py
option_doctestmodules = True
option_doctestglob = "*.rst"
If you then have a text file like this::
# content of example.rst
hello this is a doctest
>>> x = 3
>>> x
3
and another like this::
# content of mymodule.py
def something():
""" a doctest in a docstring
>>> something()
42
"""
return 42
then you can just invoke ``py.test`` without command line options::
$ py.test
