Python 文档测试错误

Question

您好，我最近开始尝试使用 python，目前正在阅读“像计算机科学家一样思考:学习 python v2nd edition”，我在 doctest 上遇到了一些麻烦。我使用 Windows 7 机器和带有 pydev 的 Eclipse IDE。

我的问题是，当我运行下面的脚本时，出现以下错误。所述脚本在错误消息下方

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\shaytac\PythonProjects\test.py", line 21, in <module>

def compare(a, b):

if a > b :
    return 1
if a == b :
    return 0
if a < b :
    return -1

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import doctest
    doctest.testmod()

Answer 1

你应该写:

>>> compare(5, 4)

如错误所述:compare 前缺少空白
