Decorator cllass hides docstring from doctest?

[Berthold Höllmann]

Saving the following code to a file and running the code through
python does not give the expected error. disableling the "@decor" line
leads to the expected error message. Is this a bug or an overseen
feature?


--- snip dectest.py ---
class decor(object):
    def __init__(self, f):
        self.f = f
    def __call__(self, *args, **kw):
        return self.f(*args, **kw)

@decor
def f(a, b):
    """
    >>> f(1,2)
    False
    >>> f(2,2)
    False
    """
    return a == b

def _test():
    import doctest
    doctest.testmod()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    _test()
--- snip dectest.py ---
