This is good news, Terry. Have you considered requesting a fork from
the authors?
I considered and rejected the idea at the time because a) I was more
than busy supervising a GSOC project and b) to work on it seriously, I
would want to ditch doctest (which was not meant for serious unit
testing) and convert to using unittest for both 2.7 and 3.x.

have it available for someone else to do it.
Now that the port has been used for some months, I a) can see that
making it available might be helpful to others, and b) would feel more
comfortable doing so on an as is, use at your own risk, basis (and
possibly even accept and apply patches).
A quick look at the GitHub pages reveals the project has pretty much
stalled. Although it could be it achieved a good enough stable status,
this is a machine learning project and those tend to always require
constant work.
Not knowing git and github adds a barrier, but thanks for the suggestion.
