Research direction

Begin with the doctest import in the code block and the compiler's import-resolution paths shown in the error. Reproduce compilation with this example and determine how the standard-library import should be handled; done means the reported missing-doctest error no longer occurs.

Description

I have a long module that ends with the following code, which is used for testing:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import doctest
    (failures,tests) = doctest.testmod(report=True)
    print ("{} failures, {} tests".format(failures,tests))

When I try to compile it with transcrypt, I get the following error:

    Import error, can't find any of:
