This is a sample doctest in a text file. In this example, we'll rely on some silly setup: >>> import test.test_doctest >>> test.test_doctest.sillySetup True This test also has some (random) encoded (utf-8) unicode text: ЉЊЈЁЂ This doesn't cause a problem in the tect surrounding the examples, but we include it here (in this test text file) to make sure. :)
