To clarify, to my understanding the issue here is that when using a class as a decorator, and copying the wrapped function's __doc__ to self.__doc__ in __init__, help() will pick up the wrapper class's __doc__ rather than the instance's __doc__. For example: class Deco: "A decorator." def __init__(self, func): functools.update_wrapper(self, func) def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs): pass @Deco def double(n): "A function." return n * 2 help(double) will show "A decorator." rather than "A function." despite the use of functools.update_wrapper(). ---------- nosy: +taleinat _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue29940> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
