Hi! Sometimes you have to put docstrings in stub files e.g. when using code generation. In that case, stubs are the only place you can locate "objects" to add docstrings to.
Thus it is frustrating to find that docstring-related software generally tends to ignore the presence of docstrings in stubs or to work incorrectly with those. I think we need a PEP to clarify the interaction between stubs and docstrings. This PEP might also encourage developers of docstring-related software to mind docstrings provided with stub files. -- Yours sincerely, Alexey Volobuev
