Simple Doc Test failing without any reason [Help Needed]

[afrobeard]

The following following code fails with the failiure:-
File "test.py", line 27, in __main__.sanitize_number
Failed example:
sanitize_number('0321-4683113')
Expected:
'03214683113'
Got:
'03214683113'
Expected and Got looks the same. The value should verify. What am I
doing wrong here ?

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate your time.

P.S. I tested this Python2.5 installed on both Ubuntu Hardy Heron and
Windows XP

Your code works for me (Python 2.5 WinXP).

Are you mixing tabs and spaces?

I copied the text off here into a new file and it worked!.

I then took a diff between the version that didnt work and the version
that worked and the only difference was a couple of spaces after this
line:-

>>sanitize_number('0321-4683113')<There were some spaces in these angle brackets>

Apparently they caused the test case to fail on this.

Weird behavior :/

Thanks for your time Gerard and thanks to everyone else too.

Nope, exactly as specified: doctest is reporting differences berween
what output was generated and what output you described.

Thanks for your time Gerard and thanks to everyone else too.

Moral of the story: Configure your editor to highlight trailing space
on a line as an error, and always remove it before saving a program
source code file.
