I've seen this proposed before, but it is, as you said, a bit arduous. For dataclasses specifically, there is also another possibility: add a `doc` argument to dataclasses.field. Like this:
from dataclasses import dataclass, field @dataclass class A: x: int = field(doc="Docstring for x.") y: bool = field(default=False, doc="Docstring for y.") And then it would be retrievable with dataclasses.fields(A).
