I think this is the last piece. The pydoc help() utility already knows how to find docstrings for other class level descriptors: property, class method, staticmethod. Enum() already has nice looking help() output because the class variables are assigned values that have a nice __repr__, making them self documenting. By design, dataclasses aren't special -- they just make regular classes, similar to or better than you would write by hand.
