If you start 2to3 from the command prompt to convert the files that contain
the doctests and copy them to a new location, then yes. But the question is:
how do you run a Py2 doctest in Py3 without first copying your doctests or
doctest containing sources to new files and then running the tests from there?
You can't require people to put such a work-around into every test script in
the world. Adding an option, fine. Copying files, adapting paths and all that,
why?
