trying to remember how to do inline code "testing"

[Alex Hunsley]

I can remember Python having a feature which allowed you to add some
simple tests to your code, something like adding console output to your
actual python script, like so:

>>1+1

2

>>2*7

14
.... then python would actually run these queries and check that the
expected results occurred.
I can't find the docs for this feauture anywhere, but I'm certain I
didn't imagine this one!
Can anyone give me a reference?

thanks,
Alex
