I'm pretty certain you're mistaken here:
>>> import doctest
>>> def test1():
... """
... >>> ' ' # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
... ' '
... """
...
>>> doctest.testmod()

The test passes. What wouldn't work, though, is if you tried to match
whitespace that is not expressed as whitespace in your test, e.g. tabs:
>>> def test2():
... r"""
... >>> '\t\t ' # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
... '\t'
... """
...
>>> doctest.testmod()
