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

Logged In: YES user_id=31435 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).
