   2   Tests in example form - IPython

   5  You can write text files with examples that use IPython prompts (as long as you
   6  use the nose ipython doctest plugin), but you can not mix and match prompt
   7  styles in a single file.  That is, you either use all ``>>>`` prompts or all
   8  IPython-style prompts.  Your test suite *can* have both types, you just need to
   9  put each type of example in a separate. Using IPython prompts, you can paste
  10  directly from your session::
  11  
  12      In [5]: s="Hello World"
  13  
  14      In [6]: s.upper()
  15      Out[6]: 'HELLO WORLD'
  16  
  17  Another example::
  18  
  19      In [8]: 1+3
  20      Out[8]: 4
  21  
  22  Just like in IPython docstrings, you can use all IPython syntax and features::
  23  
  24      In [9]: !echo hello
  25      hello
  26  
  27      In [10]: a='hi'
  28  
  29      In [11]: !echo $a
  30      hi
