python doctest how to specify execution directory for test












0















I'm using doctest.testfile() to test some of my module, given some example.txt



And here is the layout of my project:




├── mytest.py
├── example.txt
├── dir1
   └── module1.py

and here is how the example.txt looks like



>>> from module1 import *

# do something...


so actually example.txt is supposed to execute under dir



And here is how mytest.py looks like



from doctest import *
doctest.testfile('./example.txt')
...


When I run python mytest.py, it's executed under the root dir, so it failed to import module1, I go over the document for doctest and can not find any argument that I can specify the dir for running the test.
