This doesn't have anything to do with NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE. In python3, <file>.write returns the number of bytes written, instead of None. If you add the 38 to the end of your test line, the test will pass. This is not a bug in doctest, but a difference in 'write' behavior between Python2 and Python3. You can write doctests that will pass on both by explicitly discarding the return value: >>> _ = sys.stdout.write("xxxx"). xxxx
