Martin Panter added the comment: I think the proper way to suppress the link is :attr:`!__name__`.
However I am posting a patch which takes a different approach. I tweaked some of the entries under <https://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#special-attributes> that also apply to functions, etc. I invented the pseudo class name “definition” for this; better suggestions are welcome! Then I converted the user-defined functions reference, as well as many other references, to :attr:`~definition.__name__` or similar, for these three attributes: * definition.__name__ * definition.__qualname__ * object.__dict__ I also moved the index markup so that the index entries for the table of function attributes work. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +vadmium stage: -> patch review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file39542/special-attr.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24314> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
