[issue14649] doctest.DocTestSuite error misleading when module has no docstrings

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

That's a good question.  Perhaps you could argue for it as a bug fix since it doesn't seem to be documented either way...except for the 'exclude_empty' argument of testmod.  If testmod throws an error when there are no docstrings instead of returning a 0 test count or (if exclude_empty is true) skipping the module, then I think we can treat it as a bug and fix it in all active versions.
