PSA: Now that ENH/TST: Refactor refguide-check, take 3 by ev-br · Pull Request #20127 · scipy/scipy · GitHub is merged, the way to to check the examples in the documentation is
$ pip install scipy-doctest # once
This checks docstrings of public objects:
$ python dev.py smoke-docs accepts usual dev.py subcommands, -s submodule, -t path/to/file etc
This checks the ReST tutorials in the doc/source/tutorial directory:
$ python dev.py smoke-tutorials
For those who prefer to avoid dev.py and use pytest directly:
$ pytest --doctest-modules path/to/file/or/directory --other-pytest-switches-as-desired
