I disagree with the exception you're making for ‘__init__’. The parameters to that function (and how the function behaves in response) should be documented in the docstring, just as for any other function. > Yeap, but pep257 (the tool [0]) complains for __init__, and wanted to > know how serious was it. Omitting a docstring violates PEP 257, regardless which function we're talking about. So the tool is correct to complain. -- \ “If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we | `\ despise, we don't believe in it at all.” —Noam Chomsky, | _o__) 1992-11-25 | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
