[Python-Dev] 2to3 and reST text format

Hi,

As I remember, last month 2to3 was able to fix my reST documentation 
using "-d" option. But trunk version fails to parse my reST documents. Should 
I run fsck on my brain or is it really a regression?

Short example:
-----------------
Title
=====

Some text before the example:

    >>> print "Hello world!"
    Hello world!

Verbatim block: ::

    >>> print "Hello world!"
    Hello world!
-----------------

The document can be checked with:
   python2.5 -c "import doctest; doctest.testfile('test.rst')"

2to3 output:
-----------------
$ 2to3 -d test.rst
(...)
RefactoringTool: Can't parse test.rst: ParseError: bad input: type=28, 
value='==', context=('', (2, 0))
(...)
-----------------
