That's awesome!! I found your patch (#6354), and conveniently enough its
been merged in sage-4.3.alpha0. I tested it out on matrix2.pyx, which as you
might expect is one of the files most affected by the displayhook, and the
script worked perfectly -- matrix2.pyx.out passed all its doctests. I did
however notice a typo in the help text from sage -advanced that you
modified: "-fixdoctest" should be "-fixdoctests". I took the liberty of
opening a ticket and uploading a patch; this is now #7567.

I'm going to do sage -testall tonight and then it should be a simple matter
to run fixdoctests on every file that failed. The hard part will be manually
reviewing the changes, just to make sure. Thanks for your work on this
Nicolas, I feel like finishing #1918 is finally feasible!

And thank you Florent for renewing interest in this ticket. If you manage to
break anything, please let me know. When I finish fixing the doctests, I
could definitely use a second pair of eyes to review the automatic changes
too :).
