Comment 9 for bug 1178807

Consider this:

    def parse_color(color):
        """Parse a color string and return (r, g, b) values from 0.0 to 1.0.

        Example:

            >>> parse_color('#fff')
            (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)

       """

Are you saying the name 'parse_color' shouldn't be automatically available in the doctest and instead there should be an explicit import? That feels to me like insisting on unnecessary boilerplate.

(BTW Launchpad's issue tracker is *terribly inconvenient* would you PLEASE migrate to GitHub issues?)
