This places new key/value pairs into a dictionary, in this case test.globs. Unfortunately when the execution results in a class definition, it'll have its module attribute set to 'builtin'. Try as I might, I couldn't convince exec to do it any differently. The zope.testing package has a way to work around this from setup/teardown functions passed to the DocFileSuite (or whatever wrapper you're using). See the module zope.testing.module for the functions.
Thanks, I should've checked that!
Essentially, the name needs to be set in test.globs; class construction uses the global value for name to provide module; doctests normally don't have one, so it acquires the value from builtin.name instead. Which is, of course, horribly wrong.
Okay, so is this mystery mechanism that I was missing. Sorry to bother people here on the list.
