doctest in projects with models split into seperate files not working

[jesse.lovelace@…]

I've taken over a project with a lot of models and split them into separate files (project/app/models/ModelName.py, etc. and doing the imports in the init.py) and everything works well...except doctest.

My doctests were working with the all-models-in-one-file setup but aren't
anymore--unit tests still work though. SVN Django and python 2.4.3.

Can you please provide an example/test to help us track this down?

Sure, let just let me know what you need as far as specifics, here is a (not so) minimal overall example.

• Start project 'blah'
• Start app foo & add to settings.py (and setup your db of course)
• Enter foo
• Remove models.py
• mkdir models
• Enter foo/models
• Create file foo/models/Blog.py

  from dhango.db import models
  
  class Blog(models.Model):
      """
      A blog.
  
      >>> b = Blog.objects.create(title="Great post", body="Wow, that was great.")
      >>> b.title=="Great post"
      True
      """
      title = models.CharField(maxlength=50)
      body = models.TextField()
      class Meta:
         app_label='foo'

... continued ...

• Create file (optionally) foo/models/Comment.py

Ok, I can't get the rest of the example through the spam protection so I'll attach it as a file.

The spam protection is making me a little crazy, I couldn't attach the file with the comment class (and then got blocked on posts per hour) nor give any more code at all. Basically just create a comment model in foo/models/ and then import those in foo/models/init.py then syncdb then test.
