I suppose this is really a packaging issue, but it would be nice if more packages in the zope namespace package were treated as "islands" like this that could be installed separately from Zope proper.
The ZSCP tries to exactly capture this information and provide it via its site.
So, I take it that you are a second voter in favor of not requiring all tests to be doctests.
Count me as another. Doctests are fine for many cases, but they suck for doing "coverage" / "edge case" testing, which are the "valuable" unit tests for my applications. I would note that the usefulness of a doctest as documentation is inversely proportional to the amount of "setup noise" the test requires.
