doctest doesn't do tests with multiple *statements.* A docstring like

"""
>>> x = 42
>>> print(x)
42
"""

is broken into two examples:

>> import doctest
>>> p = doctest.DocTestParser()
>>> doctest.Example.__repr__ = lambda self: "Example(source={0.source!r}, 
want={0.want!r})".format(self)
>>> p.get_examples("""
... >>> x = 42
... >>> print(x)
... 42
... """)
[Example(source='x = 42\n', want=''), Example(source='print(x)\n', 
want='42\n')]
