New submission from steve steiner <sstei...@users.sourceforge.net>: Around the time of the 2.6.4 release, it was suggested that Python 2.6.3 changed the __doc__ attribute to read-only. See: http://bugs.python.org/issue7183
When asked whether this read-only behaviour was intentional, Guido answered, simply "Yes" and also wrote: On Oct 22, 2009, at 1:58 PM, Guido van Rossum wrote: Well __doc__ isn't a normal attribute -- it doesn't follow inheritance rules. I suggested that it might be helpful to document this "special" behaviour and also any other attributes that are "special" though which ones they might be are unknown at this time. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 94369 nosy: georg.brandl, ssteiner severity: normal status: open title: Document specialness of __doc__, and possibly other "special" attributes _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7186> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
