Yes, that is the “docstring synopsis” I referred to. PEP 257 has a section specifically about how tools should parse a docstring: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/#handling-docstring-indentation In particular, note that “ Blank lines should be removed from the beginning and end of the docstring.” So, the “first line of the docstring“ for the example ‘test_reverse_returns_expected_text’ is the text “Should return expected reverse text.”. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30181> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
