It would be nice if tracebacks in the footnote show the invoking context
Yep. Someone (Jim Fulton I think) had suggested that to me. I'll look
into it.
My other thought would be that having a patch that works against the 2.5
version of doctest would be good

That's right.
I don't think a ReST processor would like that much.
It would

True. How the object is created can vary; if the creation affects the

A coworker of mine (Gary Poster) had a really good idea a couple weeks
ago: teach doctest about ReST-style footnotes. I implemented it over
the weekend and brought it to Tim Peter's attention today. Tim
generally liked the idea and suggested I bring it up here.
Here's the idea: when a
