It should compare the flavor of the libraries. It doesn't necessarily have to show them doing exactly the same thing. It should fit on one screen, where "screen" is defined as a 15" MacBook Pro.

They're currently commented out.

Hey Gary,

github has the wrong ssh keys for me so this was easier than a pull request, sorry.

Patch here: https://gist.github.com/856510

As well as correcting a mock example it removes the broken links from index.rst. I also had to add the current directory to sys.path in conf.py in order to be able to execute the doctests on my system.

E.g., maybe I only want to compare Mock and Fudge.

Maintaining this documentation as a doctest hasn't turned out very well. Some examples aren't illustrative because they don't represent realistic use cases. Everything is fragile because it's all mixed into one environment.

Instead, let's turn them all into standard unittest classes. We'll need to parse the test files to generate the documentation. Comment markers in the test files are probably easier than trying to parse the test methods out directly.

I'd love to see Ludibrio in the comparisson too.
