New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: The docstring of namedtuple class starts with the signature of the constructor. But pydoc now outputs the signature of the constructor for classes (see issue29338). As a result, the signature is duplicated in the output.
For example: $ ./python -m pydoc functools._CacheInfo Help on class CacheInfo in functools: functools._CacheInfo = class CacheInfo(builtins.tuple) | functools._CacheInfo(hits, misses, maxsize, currsize) | | CacheInfo(hits, misses, maxsize, currsize) | | Method resolution order: ... ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 298582 nosy: ncoghlan, rhettinger, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Constructor signature is duplicated in the help of namedtuples type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30959> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
