Can you check that an exception is thrown with doctest in Python?

>>> scope # doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
Traceback (most recent call last):
NameError: name 'scope' is not defined

Don't know why the previous answers don't have the IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL. I need this for it to work. Py versioin: 3.7.3.

Yes. You can do it. The doctest module documentation and Wikipedia has an example of it.

   >>> x
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     ...
   NameError: name 'x' is not defined
