I am against mark-up in doc-strings, but this problem can be easily solved by placing a magic character at __doc__[0] to indicate that the rest is (mini)reST. The magic character should be chosen to be inconspicuous and unlikely to appear at the start of a plain-text docstting. For example, any type closing braces, ), }. ] will do, or any end of sentence punctuation such as . or !. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
