Nick Coghlan added the comment: Aye, it's definitely a tricky problem. While I didn't take them into account in my review, I now realise those issues also impacted the attempted workaround - I'd be surprised if it worked as intended in those other contexts (even the "pydoc -b" rendered HTML view).
As far as how to deal with the rendering complexity in a protocol, one possible way to go would be to say that rather than returning a fully rendered string, __help__() methods should return either a Python function object or a type() instance (that doesn't define __help__()), and then pydoc would render the help based on that. Regardless of the exact approach, it would be a task requiring a PEP to resolve, since rendered documentation appears in so many different contexts. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13691> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
