!doctest --- Test interactive Python examples — Using factorial
This is an example text file in reStructuredText format. First import factorial from the example module Running doctest.testfile("example.txt") then finds the error in this documentation File "./example.txt", line 14, in example.txt Failed example: factorial(6) Expected: 120 Got: 720 As with testmod

Like testmod, testfile's verbosity can be set with the -v command-line switch or with the optional keyword argument verbose.
There is also a command line shortcut for running te
