Skipping doctests optionally.

[Tanu Hari Dixit]

Is there a way to have optional doctests that depend on optional dependencies
so that they are executed when the optional dependency is present and
skipped when not?
@skipif of pytest [1] or @skipIf of unittest [2] library work for tests and not doctests.
Does a similar functionality exist for doctest?

There is a doctest_depends_on decorator that you can put on the function.

I don't think there's any way to do it for the doctests in the Sphinx
docs. For those you'll just have to skip them.
