"""Nose Plugin that supports IPython doctests.

Limitations:

- When generating examples for use as doctests, make sure that you have
  pretty-printing OFF.  This can be done either by setting the
  ``PlainTextFormatter.pprint`` option in your configuration file to  False, or
  by interactively disabling it with  %Pprint.  This is required so that IPython
  output matches that of normal Python, which is used by doctest for internal
  execution.

- Do not rely on specific prompt numbers for results (such as using
  '_34==True', for example).  For IPython tests run via an external process the
  prompt numbers may be different, and IPython tests run as normal python code
  won't even have these special _NN variables set at all.
