Why isn't django-nose running the doctests in my models?

Question

I'm trying to use doctests with django-nose. All my doctests are running, except not any doctests within a model (unless it is abstract).

class TestModel1(models.Model):
    """
    >>> print 'pass'
    pass
    """
    pass

class TestModel2(models.Model):
    """
    >>> print 'pass'
    pass
    """
    class Meta:
        abstract = True
    pass

The first doctest does not run and the second does. Why is this?

Any chance you're getting bitten by this? http://github.com/jbalogh/django-nose/issues/2 If so, try upgrading django-nose
