Issue recognizing my docstring

See original GitHub issue

For the following docstring I get an error:

def logTraceback(logFunction):
  r''' Logs the exception traceback to the specified log function.

  >>> try: raise Exception()  # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
  ... except Exception: logTraceback(lambda *a, **b: sys.stdout.write(a[0] + "\n", *a[1:], **b))
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
  Exception
  ...
  '''
  # here is the code

Error:
