Is it possible to put a doc string on a class attribute? Something
like this
You can put a docstring on a property (which is a function):
class Test(object):
@property
def fred(self):
"attribute"
return 10
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'
So if property docstrings are so hard to get to, what's the point in
having them?
