I'd like to create some tests for functions that exist within a
controller using web2py's (very convenient) doctest integration. Is
this possible?

For example, here is a controller with a subfunction and one test
defined for the controller and another defined for the function within
the controller:

---
def my_controller():
    """
    here are some doctests:

    >>> my_controller()
    35

    >>> inner_function(1,2)
    3

    """

    def inner_function(a,b):
        return a + b

    return 5 * inner_function(3,4)
---
and when running tests, I get one error (edited for brevity):

Line 7, ... in my_controller.__doc__
Failed example:
    inner_function(1,2)
Exception raised:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/lib/python2.5/doctest.py", line 1228, in __run
        compileflags, 1) in test.globs
      File "... in my_controller.__doc__[1]>", line 1, in <module>
    NameError: name 'inner_function' is not defined
