DoctestItem #10312Description
I assume by DoctestItem only being available from _pytest.doctest.DoctestItem, it's an internal / unstable API.
If I'm completely mistaken in that assumption please let me know
What's the problem this feature will solve?
Stable import for:
isinstancechecking inside of autorun setup fixtures w/doctest_namespace(see my libtmux, libvcs examples, as well and cs.github.com search query)- other plugins re-using
DoctestItem, e.g. my docutils plugin
Describe the solution you'd like
Perhaps pytest.DoctestItem or something of the sort
Alternative Solutions
Further battle-testing of pytest's doctest plugin to stabilize the API, then exporting it
Additional context
I am using DoctestItem on 3+ open source projects and need a stable place to import the type from
- libtmux/conftest.py
- libvcs/src/libvcs/conftest.py
- pytest-doctest-docutils (overrides pytest's doctest plugin)
