One solution is, in case of metadata output (G7:r.info, G7:t.info, temporal modules in general), to require the output to be in shell format so that the reference check is able compare only these parts that contain values that will not change between test platforms. Alternatively we can use [https://docs.python.org/2/library/doctest.html#doctest.OutputChecker internal functions of doctest] which are able compare texts where part of the text is [https://docs.python.org/2/library/doctest.html#doctest.ELLIPSIS ellipsis].

This might be solved by using regular expressions, doctest matching functions (with ellipses) or parsing just relevant part of the output.
