Can someone have a look at #860326? I got bitten by it today, and I can see no reason not to apply suggested patch. I've reviewed it and checked it in.

Hm. This broke a few doctests. I can fix them, but I wonder if doctest should accept a bare exception name if the exception is defined in the current module. Or should it ignore the module name altogether?

(Background:

In normal exception tracebacks, non-builtin exceptions are printed with their module name prepended:

Traceback: [...] decimal.InvalidOperation: ...

When formatted by traceback.format_exception_only, the module name was omitted, which the patch mentioned above corrected. Since doctest relies on that behavior, three stdlib doctests broke.)
