Sorry if I sounded rude or disrispectful, It wasn't my intention at all. Let me try to redeem myself by proposing some constructive proposal: what about a function/method level mark (be it a decorator or a comment)?
It could have more benefits than just treating correctly the doctests. It could also help, for instance, creating a documentation section automatically, or even not exposing the function at all if the corresponding package is not installed. Of course, this idea has many drawbacks: the optional functionality might deppend only on certain parameters (e.g. the 'algorithm' keyword)... but maybe they could be worked out.
