Constant f-strings (those without substitutions) as doc strings used to work, since the compiler turns them into normal strings.

I can't find exactly where it was removed, but there was definitely discussion about it. See https://bugs.python.org/issue28739 for at least part of the discussion.

Hello,

Currently, a f-string is not recognized as a docstring:

class C: f"foo"
C.__doc__

This means you need to use a (admittedly easy) workaround:

class C: __doc__ = f"foo"
C.__doc__
'foo'

Shouldn't the former be allowed for convenience?

Regards

Antoine.
