Sorry, forgot to include the output of doctest_driver.py --help. 
Here it is:
-Edward
Usage: doctest_driver.py [options] NAME ...
Options:
 --version show program's version number and exit
 -h, --help show this help message and exit
 Actions (default=check):
 --check Verify the output of the doctest examples in 
the given
 files.
 -u, --update Update the expected output for new or out-of- 
date
 doctest examples in the given files. In 
particular,
 find every example whose actual output does 
not match
 its expected output; and replace its 
expected output
 with its actual output. You will be asked 
to verify
 the changes before they are written back to 
the file;
 be sure to check them over carefully, to 
ensure that
 you don't accidentally create broken test 
cases.
 --debug Verify the output of the doctest examples in 
the given
 files. If any example fails, then enter the 
python
 debugger.
 Reporting:
 -v, --verbose Increase verbosity.
 -q, --quiet Decrease verbosity.
 -d, --udiff Display test failures using unified diffs.
 --cdiff Display test failures using context diffs.
 --ndiff Display test failures using ndiffs.
 Output Comparison:
 --ellipsis Allow "..." to be used for ellipsis in the 
expected
 output.
 --normalize_whitespace
 Ignore whitespace differences between the 
expected
 output and the actual output.
