11,563 PointsTrouble in running doctest
Hello friends i want to know where i'm doing wrong in my code.i write the doctest for name_length and after that when i ran it with python -m doctest script.py then it will run the program.so please tell me how can i write the test for name_length.the work of the name_length is to return the length of the longest length string in the argument.

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsI am confused by the code structure. The while
loop is inside the definition of the class. Executable code not inside a method is unusual in a class definition. The while
has a True
argument, which means it will never complete, so it's stuck in an infinite loop. The test never gets to run because the class never finishes being defined due to the infinite loop.

11,563 PointsI make "while True" and then all method inside it intentionally because i want to make a program which will change the information when it is changed in the originally file making it a real-time viewer.So it means i cannot test this program because it will never stop.
