See Lib/test/test_syntax.py for one example of using doctests in regrtest suite. Note that sys.stdout being StringIO may present a challenge to your approach. You can also take a look at test_pydoc which also tests console-oriented text and html output.

For month displays, a doctest may be most appropriate. See
Lib/test/test_syntax.py for one example of using doctests in regrtest
suite.  Note that sys.stdout being StringIO may present a challenge to
your approach.  You can also take a look at test_pydoc which also
tests console-oriented text and html output.
