Not possible because the doctests are run outside the function and the inner_function is not defined outside the scope of my_controller. It is possible to extract the code of the inner_function and execute it:
>>> def f(): ... def g(): return 5 ... return 8 >>> eval(f.func_code.co_consts[1]) 5 but it is very ugly and I would not reccomend it.
