Neat! But please add something to the __doc__ so we can also see it was changed. E.g.
self.__doc__ = other.__doc__ + os.linesep + "*** deprecated ***"
Decorators that alter the signature, or wish to change the docstring can make their modifications after copying from the original (or simply not copy from the original in the first place). E.g:
def deprecated(orig):
def f(*args, **kwds):
#Emit warning here
return orig(*args, **kwds)
f.update_meta(orig)
f.__doc__ = "*** Deprecated *** " + f.__doc__
return fAny such changes are outside the purview of a metadata transfer method, though, since they're highly decorator dependent.
Cheers, Nick.
