actually I want to match the whole output.. and you can't because ellipsis is the same as line continuation...

I think you are sticking too much to the examples I posted, where I used functions that are part of Python, so that everybody could run the code and test the issues.

I don't use random numbers, so I can't apply what you said.
Really, I am looking for a way to test the code while ignoring the output.

I don't know if usually it is a bad choice, but in my case is what I want/need.
