When I apply numpy.vectorize() to a function, documentation tools behave inconsistently with regard to the new, vectorized function. The function's __doc__ attribute does contain the docstring of the original function as expected, but the built-in help() command displays the documentation of the numpy.vectorize class, and sphinx-autodoc fails to display the function at all. Is there a way to get the docstring of the original function display everywhere as expected?
For instance: >>> import numpy as np >>> def myfunc(x): ... "Square x" ... return x**2 ... >>> myfunc=np.vectorize(myfunc) >>> print myfunc.__doc__ Square x >>> help(myfunc) (displays documentation of np.vectorize) _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
