You can also do doctests now. Here's a snippet from
test_polynomial.py:

"""
>>> import scipy.base as nx
>>> from scipy.base.polynomial import poly1d

>>> p = poly1d([1.,2,3])
>>> p
poly1d([ 1.,  2.,  3.])
>>> print p
   2
1 x + 2 x + 3
>>> q = poly1d([3.,2,1])
>>> q
poly1d([ 3.,  2.,  1.])
>>> print q
   2
3 x + 2 x + 1
"""

from scipy.test.testing import *

import doctest
def test_suite(level=1):
    return doctest.DocTestSuite()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    ScipyTest().run()
