Re: Simple Doc Test failing without any reason [Help Needed]

I copied the text off here into a new file and it worked!.

I then took a diff between the version that didnt work and the version
that worked and the only difference was a couple of spaces after this
line:-

sanitize_number('0321-4683113')<There were some spaces in these angle brackets>

Apparently they caused the test case to fail on this.

Weird behavior :/

Thanks for your time Gerard and thanks to everyone else too.

The following following code fails with the failiure:-

File "test.py", line 27, in __main__.sanitize_number
Failed example:
    sanitize_number('0321-4683113')
Expected:
    '03214683113'
Got:
    '03214683113'

Expected and Got looks the same. The value should verify.  What am I
doing wrong here ?

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate your time.

P.S. I tested this Python2.5 installed on both Ubuntu Hardy Heron and
Windows XP

Your code works for me (Python 2.5 WinXP).

Are you mixing tabs and spaces?
