[patch] commetn doctest broken

[Maximillian Dornseif <md@…>]

It seems to me that a docstring in the comment model is broken - it can't wor without instantating an object. And this resultet in python manage.py test failing for my project. See below for the exact error. Since the comment system is meant to be rewritten I spent no time further investigating the issue but just disabled the docstring like this:

+++ django/contrib/comments/models.py   (working copy)
     def get_rating_options(self, rating_string):
[...]
-        >>> s = "scale:1-10|First_category|Second_category"
-        >>> get_rating_options(s)
+        >> s = "scale:1-10|First_category|Second_category"
+        >> get_rating_options(s)
