I honestly don't follow that sentence. But __doc__ is special because
of its use; documenting how to use of an object.
Speaking of the __doc__ property, I just noticed the following thing on
py3k:
class C: pass
...
C.__doc__ = hop
Traceback (most recent call last):
File stdin, line 1, in module
AttributeError: attribute '__doc__' of 'type' objects is not writable
Happens also with new style classes in

Well __doc__ isn't a normal attribute -- it doesn't follow inheritance rules.

I might add why I was asking this question. I was trying to demonstrate the

Maybe we could add a ticket to flag this in the docs.
Is __doc__ not normal due to its general underscorishness, or is it
not normal because it isn't?

I am talking about modifying __doc__ on a class, not on an instance.
