Eric Snow added the comment:
What is wrong with the following?
class Point(namedtuple('Point', 'x y')):
"""A 2-dimensional coordinate
x - the abscissa
y - the ordinate
"""
This seems more clear to me. namedtuple is in some ways a quick-and-dirty
type, essentially a more true implementation of the intended purpose of tuple.
The temptation is to keep adding on functionality but we should resist until
there is too much imperative. I don't see it here. While I don't have a gauge
of how often people use (or would use) docstrings with nametuple, I expect that
it's relatively low given the intended simplicity of namedtuple.
