That's a good suggestion, Hans. Unfortunately, when I tried it I get
false OK results -- all the tests are reported as "passing" yet I know
that one of them should fail. Here is my modified controller code,
with 2 doctests for the inner function, 1 of which should fail:

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

    >>> my_controller()
    35

    """

    def inner_function(a,b):
        """
        here are some doctests:

        >>> inner_function(1,2)
        3

        >>> inner_function(3,4)
        99
        """
        return a + b

    return 5 * inner_function(3,4)
