R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: No, because that patch doesn't document the special inheritance rules for __doc__ (which are uniquely special even among special methods).

[issue7186] Document specialness of __doc__, and possibly other special attributes
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
