No problem, as long as the only output generated by the example is the
traceback itself. For example:
- >>> 1/0
+ >>> [1, 2, 3].remove(42)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
- ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
+ ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list
>>>
Note that only the exception type and value are compared (specifically,
executed, leading to this output in verbose mode:
