Hi, I realize my question is somewhat off-topic for the pytables community, but the problem originates from my using pytables. In the skeleton code below I do not like to use the function's name to get the doc string.
def dumFunction(): """This function will gain me with the Nobel Prize...in another life.""" fp = openFile("res.h5", mode='a') results = [] resArray = fp.createArray(fp.root, "Pete", results, dumFunction.__doc__) Now I would rather not pass dumFunction.__doc__ as an argument. Instead, I want to use something like the C++ pointer this, that is, something like this.__doc__. In other words, how do I get a reference to the doc string, without having to use the function's name? Thanks.
