[issue21178] doctest cause warnings in tests using generators

[Ontje Lünsdorf]

Ontje Lünsdorf added the comment:

I think there may be a bug in doctest which is getting exposed by Python 3.4 new handling of reference cycles. I've attached a simpler example with a global variable.

There's no error if you run the code directly, the global variable still exists during the generator exit. If you run it with doctest in Python 3.4 you get the warning because the global variable has been deleted. In this corner case, doctest execution seem to differ from Python.
