Hi all,
I'm posting partly so my problem and solution might be more easily found by google, and partly out of mere curiosity.
I've just spent a frustrating bit of time figuring out why pydoc didn't extract a description from my module docstrings. Even though I had a well formed docstring (one line, followed by a blank line, followed by the rest of the docstring), when I ran Module docs, my modules showed up as having "no description". ("Module docs" referring to the shortcut installed on Windows that launches the pydoc server.)
?? It works for me with triple-single quoted strings...from a quick look it appears that pydoc uses inspect which looks at the __doc__ attribute; do your modules have __doc__ attributes?
