Which, however, doesn't really help: >>> t = Test() >>> t.fred.__doc__ 'int(x[, base]) -> integer\n\nConvert a string or number to an integer ...' The problem is that t.fred returns an integer, so t.fred.__doc__ returns the docstring from the integer, not for the property. >>> t.__class__.fred.__doc__ 'attribute' -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
