[Zope3-checkins] SVN: Zope3/trunk/src/zope/ Integrated latest doctest from Python CVS head.

Log message for revision 27216:
  Integrated latest doctest from Python CVS head.
  
  You can't set global test options within tests anymore.
  You can set options for individual examples, or you can
  supply option flags when you create a test suite.
  
  Failure output formatting is much improved.
  
  Can now use:
  
    import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
  
  when debugging doctests.
