Could you have a look at the attached unittest example for dict? If it's ok
for you, I would do the same for str. I'm not used to use python in
interactive mode and you have to set pathes or move files around to get the
test running. So doctest feels not very comfortable to me - but I might be
missing something.

BTW: It seems that the python test scripts are executed twice. Why? Has it
something to do with doctest?

Yes, but I'm here to learn. I know that writing tests is not easy, but I'm
just experiencing how long it could take. ;-)

I will fix it.
