New submission from towb:

Command line tools usually use the shebang and don't have a .py extension. This 
breaks the `python -m doctest` shortcut for testmod().

Getting it to work is probably ugly, but there should be a useful message. 
Currently it's just a NameError for every function, which is very confusing.
