""" Tools for having doctest and unittest work together more nicely.

    Eclipse's PyDev plugin will run your unittest files for you very nicely.
    The doctest_for_module function allows you to easily run the doctest for a
    module along side your standard unit tests within Eclipse.

def doctest_for_module(module):
    """ Create a TestCase from a module's doctests that will be run by the
        standard unittest.main().

            import unittest

            import foo
            from traits.testing.api import doctest_for_module
