setup_modules seems to be ignored with 8.0.1 + --doctest-modules

Hi Pytest team,

In DIPY project, we use a lot setup_module and teardown_module and everything was working like a charm.

Since pytest 8.0.1 and 8.0.2, it seems that setup_module and teardown_module are incompatible with --doctest-modules flag.

All our tests fails when you add this flag due to unrecognized variable defined in setup_module.

This problem appears on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Let me know if you need more information concerning this issue. For now, we will just pin pytest to 8.0.0

Thank you for you feedback

This has been reported in #12011, will be fixed in pytest 8.1, which will be released soon.

If you want a quicker solution, replacing setup_module/teardown_module with a pytest fixture would do the trick.
