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.
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.
The solution in zope.testing.module allows the class to be used with pickle within the test as well.
