Doctest fails when normal output and exception mixed together?

Question

Does doctest support that both output and exception mixed together?

One example is:

>>> def foo():
...    print 'hello world!'
>>> foo()
hello world!
>>> def bar():
...     raise Exception()
>>> bar()
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
Exception

>>> def foo_bar():
...     foo()
...     bar()
>>> foo_bar()
hello world!
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
Exception

I expect all three cases should be successful, but only two of them does, see

$ python -m doctest -v /tmp/1.py
Trying:
    def foo():
       print 'hello world!'
Expecting nothing
ok
Trying:
    foo()
Expecting:
    hello world!
ok
Trying:
    def bar():
        raise Exception()
Expecting nothing
ok
Trying:
    bar()
Expecting:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    Exception
ok
Trying:
    def foo_bar():
        foo()
        bar()
Expecting nothing
ok
Trying:
    foo_bar()
Expecting:
    hello world!
    Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
    Exception

Answer 1

The docs say you can't do that:

Examples containing both expected output and an exception are not supported. Trying to guess where one ends and the other begins is too error-prone, and that also makes for a confusing test.

Answer 2

Regular output and tracebacks cannot be mixed since they are just indistinguishable text. However you can wrap the block, catching the exception you expect:

>>> try:
...     foo_bar()
... except TheSpecificExceptionYouWant:
...     pass
... else:
...     raise AssertionError('Should have raised an exception')
hello world!
