Chris Jerdonek added the comment: I tried applying the latest patch (patch #6) to 3.2, merging to default, and then running all tests in default, and the tests seem to all pass for me (in both default and 3.2). Also, the diff for the change in default after that process seems to be identical

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: I prepared the patch against 3.3 (default), so I wouldn't have expected it to work against 3.2 without further changes. The behavior in 3.3 after merging is also surprising given that it worked in 3.2 (and for me with direct application). I will look into

R. David Murray added the comment: With your patch 5 applied, test_zipimport_support fails. I took a quick look at this and it looks like it is because we've added a dependency on an external data file to the test for DocTestSuite. Note that with patch 4 applied, test_pyclbr fails...I found

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: Every doctest is docstring from tested module, but not every docstring is a valid doctest. Actually, I'm not sure even this is correct. doctest will form a unittest *TestSuite* from a module if it has docstrings, but it will not necessarily create a test

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: I suspect the intent was to raise an error if there were no *tests*, not if there were no docstrings. That, or the implementor thought that if no docstrings were found, then that might indicate something went wrong with the parsing. For background
