If I have the following path layout:

/setup.py
/package_name/
/package_name/__init__.py

I expect --doctest-modules not to read in setup.py. I can control it with conftest.py, but that seems a bit iffy. A better way might be to (IF the project is a setuptools package) take advantage of the setuptools project declaration to find the set of modules under test there.

In any case, setup.py should be skipped.
