Comment (by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:59 jdemeyer]:
 > This is the reason why the docstring of `__init__` was preferred when
 `__doc__` contains no embedding information:
 > {{{
 > sage: print sage.structure.parent.Parent.__doc__
 > Parent(base=None, category=None, *, element_constructor=None, gens=None,
 names=None, normalize=True, facade=None, **kwds)
 > }}}

 Why is that? If there is no doc string, shouldn't Cython change it so that
 it consists of the signature and the embedding information? Why is the
 embedding information not inserted?
