That's fine if you're calling it from Python, but I want a way to run the tests from the shell, and the advertised way to do that is by calling doctest.py as a script. The module calls testfile, so it should work. And now it's working for me. I have *no idea* what happened there... it wasn't working for me before, and now it is.
