SUMMARY:
Calling doctest.testmod more than once before SystemExit spews stderr
messages such as "*** Do
> ... every run of doctest after the first is verbose ...
> *** DocTestRunner.merge: '__main__' in both testers; summing outcomes.
Another path to the same bug:
import doctest
print doctest.testfile(__file__, verbose=False)
print doctest.testfile(__file__, verbose=False)
Mystifiedly yours, rank

$ python2.5 quiet-once.py
(0, 0)
*** DocTestRunner.merge: '__main__' in both testers; summing outcomes.
(0, 0)
*** DocTestRunner.merge: '__main__' in both testers; summing outcomes.
(0, 0)

$ cat quiet-once.py
import doctest
print doctes
