IMO, it shouldn't be necessary to explicitly copy docstrings around like this in the first place. Either it should happen automatically, or help() should be smart enough to look up the inheritance hierarchy when given a method that doesn't have a docstring of its own.
Unfortunately, since unbound methods were ditched, help(Foo.blarg) no longer has an easy way to find the base classes, so help from the compiler may be needed. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
