decorators and doctests
Just ran into this issue while adding some tests to the Redis Python client. If you’re using doctests, and the method being tested is wrapped in a decorator, then your doctest for that method won’t be visible to the doctest runner. This is because when you wrap a func/method in a decorator, it loses its docstring unless you set it back explicitly. In Python 2.5, you could simply avoid this problem by using functools.wraps.
