When adding these duplicate methods, we should also copy the docstring
automatically, so that it is well documented at one place and the
other methods just copy it somehow.


That should be easy:

class Foo(object):
    def some_method(self, x):
        """doc"""
        pass

    other_method = some_method

help(Foo) then shows that other_method is equal to some_method and one can lookup the documentation of some_method. Alternatively:

class Foo(object):
    def some_method(self, x):
        """doc"""
        pass

    def other_method(self, x):
        self.some_method(x)
    other_method.__doc__ = some_method.__doc__

help(Foo) now shows two methods with the same docstring. (Not sure if that is better.)



cheers,
