Doctest failures in Python 2.6.6 rc1

[Aaron S. Meurer]

I just tried running the tests in master in Python 2.6.6 rc1 [0], and I got some doctest failures. It looks like they're all things that, if you change them, they will fail in the other Pythons where they are currently passing.

I have attached a text file with the failures. Since this is release candidate of Python, it is possible that the problems are bugs there. More likely, though, it is some intentional changes (the changes are listed at [1]). I'm posting here to see if anyone else can give more insight.

Python 2.6.6 final is scheduled for release on August 16 [2].

I just tested the latest master with Python 2.6.6 rc2 and I got the
exact same test failures.

If this isn't fixed by the final release of Python 2.6.6, I will open
up an issue for it.

By the way, the new release date for Python 2.6.6 final is August 24

So Python 2.6.6 has been released [0], and the issue persists with the
exact same doctest failures as before. So I have opened issue 2041
[1] for it.
