Comment 12 for bug 1178807

@mgedmin yes, for my use-case yes, we do use that kind of boilerplate (here are some examples http://docs.sympy.org/latest/modules/simplify/simplify.html). I agree that not everyone wants this, though, which is why I suggested making it an option. The different levels of scoping that @jayvdb suggests may also be useful, although I would be hesitant to implement them unless an actual doctest runner uses them.

(and I'm also very +1 to moving to GitHub FWIW)
