​and now how to do a multi line statement​.

>>> import doctest
>>> example =
doctest.Example("print('hello')\nprint('world')",want="hello\nworld")
>>> test = doctest.DocTest([example], {}, None, None, None, None)
>>> runner = doctest.DocTestRunner(verbose=True)
>>> runner.run(test)

Trying:
    print('hello')
    print('world')
Expecting:
    hello
    world
