The DocTestSuite tool ignores a module level dictionary 
named __test__.  This limits its usefulness for the 
current python testsuite.

Perhaps this can be incorporated in your updates.

Thanks for pointing it out!  This got fixed by magic as part of 
the refactoring -- doctest's unittest support used to have its 
own code for finding things to test, entirely distinct from the 
test-finding code used by the rest of doctest.  Everything 
uses a new common DocTestFinder class now, so there 
should be no more differences in what the various wrappers 
find to test.

I added a test to ensure that DocTestSuite does indeed make 
tests from a __test__ dict (if present).
