I have no issue when the decorator is defined in the same module as the
decorated function, my problem is running doctests on functions using an
imported decorator. Having to implement the decorator in every source module
isn't very practical. Try splitting your module in two, as I did, and run
with -v, and you'll see the problem.

Run my test script (one file) with the -v (verbose) option. Without the -v
