I would like to have the docstring for function first also
contain the docstring for second because it should
support/pass any argument second contains.
You can explicitly set the docstring by assigning to __doc__:
def f():
... '''here is f's doc string '''
... return 42
...
def g():
... return f() + 10
...
g.__doc__ = "Here is g's help\n" + f.__doc__
help(g)
help(g)
Help on function g in module __main__:
g()
Here is g's help
here is f's doc string
There may be a more elegant way but that seems to work...
