Comment #6 on issue 1591 by smichr: More strict doctests
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1591

I think Ondrej's preference is for all doctests to have an explicit import  
showing
what sympy functionality is being used. Aaron and I were talking about  
this, too, and
for a person unfamiliar with sympy it would probably be helpful to have  
explicit
imports like

from sympy import symbol

at the top of the docstring code samples. If there is some sort of  
consensus on this,
I would be willing to be the nanny to get the docstrings in order, removing  
the "from
sympy import *" imports and replacing them with what is necessary to make  
the
doctests run. There are a lot that need fixing so I don't want to dive in  
until it's
clear which way we will go.

If my runtest_2 branch described in 1671 gets through review it will be a  
much better
checker of doctests as it doesn't miss things that are being missed right  
now by
normal testing...which means it's showing up a lot of errors in things that  
haven't
really been checked before.

TODO
[  ] decide what the sympy standard will be for doctest code in terms of  
imports
