In one of my current projects, we might need to write some kind of "reports" that describe and "prove" our fraud detectors work.

Such reports might not fit jupyter notebook as we might need some more control on the layout.

On the other hand it would be nice to have everything tested.

Hopefully sphinx contains nice tools for testing code in documentation, to enable them just:

1. Enable 'sphinx.ext.doctest' plugin by adding it to the extensions list in the conf.py file:

   extensions = [
       'sphinx.ext.autodoc',
       'sphinx.ext.doctest',
       'sphinx.ext.intersphinx',
       'sphinx.ext.coverage',
       'sphinx.ext.mathjax',
       'sphinx.ext.viewcode',
   ]
   

2. Then write some doctests like that:

   .. doctest::
   
       >>> def addition(left, right):
       ...      return left + right
   
       >>> addition(1, 3) == 4
       True
       >>> addition(1, 1)
       2
   

3. Then run it using make doctest and it will run all code and raise error if doctests won't work.
