[New-bugs-announce] [issue7502] All DocTestCase instances compare and hash equal to each other

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

New submission from Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun at divmod.com>:

Consider this example, based on two doctests from Twisted:

  from doctest import DocTestSuite
  import twisted.web2.stream
  docTestOne = DocTestSuite(twisted.web2.stream)._tests[0]
  import twisted.web2.test.test_stream
  docTestTwo = DocTestSuite(twisted.web2.test.test_stream)._tests[0]
  print docTestOne.id(), '==', docTestTwo.id(), '?'
  print docTestOne == docTestTwo

One might reasonably expect a false result, since the two DocTestCase
instances represent two different doctests.  One will meet with
surprise, though.
