New issue 2147 by asmeurer: Remove dependence on Python's doctest
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2147

Right now the doctesting code in runtests.py is basically half of the code from Python's doctest.py copied over, with some modifications. The code uses a lot of monkey-patching and class inheritance to make the rest of the code that isn't copied over still work. But every time we come across a bug in the doctest runner, it has been fixed in Python 2.6 from 2.5, or was introduced in some Python version, and the way to fix it is to copy some more code over. c.f., issue 2041 and issue 1587.

So I think we should just copy all the code over already and just check the doctest file for bug fixes to forward port with each Python release.
