New submission from Raymond Hettinger: I can't see any reason for property docstrings to be readonly:
>>> p = property(doc='basic') >>> p.__doc__ 'basic' >>> p.__doc__ = 'extended' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#46>", line 1, in <module> p.__doc__ = 'extended' AttributeError: readonly attribute Among other things, making it writeable would simplify the ability to update the docstrings produced by namedtuple; Time.mtime.__doc__ = 'modification time' Score.max = 'all time cumulative high score for a single season' ---------- components: Interpreter Core keywords: easy messages: 242098 nosy: rhettinger priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Make the property doctstring writeable type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24064> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
