New submission from Nick Coghlan: Issue #15582 added docstring inheritance to the inspect module. This means that Enum subclasses without their own docstring now inherit the generic docstring from the base class definition:
>>> import enum, inspect >>> class MyEnum(enum.Enum): ... a = 1 ... >>> inspect.getdoc(MyEnum) 'Generic enumeration.\n\nDerive from this class to define new enumerations.' Perhaps the metaclass could automatically derive a more suitable docstring if the subclass doesn't set one of its own? ---------- messages: 240348 nosy: barry, eli.bendersky, ethan.furman, ncoghlan, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Add a default docstring to Enum subclasses type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23900> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
