    The PEP-420 -- Implicit Namespace Packages introduces packages which have no __init__.py file and can be made of multiple packages. It looks like doctest doesn't support them.

    I would like to convert the Lib/test/ of the Python standard library into such package for the issue bpo-26295.

    I propose to use an heuristic when the package is only made of one directory (when module.__path__ only contains one entry): use this directory to lookup for requested test files.

    Attached patch implements that.

    I pushed a different fix using module.__path__ since my use case is the test module splitted into at least two directories.
