Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 On one hand, this seems to fix the two particular doctests in question.
 On the other, it's not perfect. I can see two problems, one of which I
 know how to fix:

  - if the source has the (unlikely) form {{{def f({(1,2,3): True}):
 ...}}}, then this version (and all previous versions) will think that the
 arg spec ends after {{{(1,2,3):}}}.  The function
 {{{_sage_getargspec_from_ast}}} can actually handle this kind of thing,
 though, so I think we should pass the entire source code to it, rather
 than truncate at the first {{{):}}}.  That is, delete line 470 and change
 line 471 from
 {{{
 proxy = 'def dummy' + source[beg:end] + '\n    return'
 }}}
  to
 {{{
 proxy = 'def dummy' + source[beg:] + '\n    return'
 }}}

  - if the docstring has type information, it can't handle it.  I don't
 know what to do about this, or if it's worth it.

 Should we fix the first problem and then go ahead with this?  I also
 notice that the methods for {{{SageArgSpecVisitor}}} don't have doctests.
 Is that possible for these sorts of things?  I know nothing about ast.
