If we return unicode, SpoofOut's buf variable becomes automagically converted to unicode. This means all subsequent output becomes converted to unicode, and if the output contains non-ascii characters that fails.
That means that
>>> print u'\xe9'.encode('utf-8')
é
Will work just fine, but
>>> print u'abc'
abc
>>> print u'\xe9'.encode('utf-8')
é
Will fail.
The reason for this is that when "resetting" the doctest output only a truncate(0) is done, so the buf variable will continue to be unicode. I include tests + a patch that will set self.buf to '' if empty when trunkated. Other options are also possible, like changing the .truncate(0) to a .buf = '' but that's ugly, or adding a reset() method on SpoofOUt. |
