Chris Jerdonek added the comment:
Attached is a patch that adds to regrtest the ability to run doctests in both
library modules and documentation files (specifically, in the non-test modules
in Lib/ and in the *.rst files in Doc/).
The syntax to run all doctests is--
python -m test --doctests --docdir <path-to-doc>
If --docdir is left out, only module doctests are run. You can run the
doctests for individual files and modules by including test names of the form
"fdoc:library/builtins.rst" and "mdoc:html.parser" (for file doctests and
module doctests, respectively).
Doctests for a module are only run if the module has a variable `_doctest_safe`
that evaluates to True.
I haven't yet added a mechanism to mark a documentation file as "doctest safe"
or to skip importing a library module entirely (when running all tests).
