The original function is present too.

 |  tkraise(self, aboveThis=None)
 |  Raise this widget in the stacking order.

[issue34966] Pydoc: better support of method aliases

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

What do you mean by 'does not work'.

Alias of function in same namespace.

|  itemconfig = itemconfigure(self, index, cnf=None, **kw)
|  
|  itemconfigure(self, index, cnf=None, **kw)
|  Configure resources of an ITEM.

Alias of function in inherited namespace.

|  lift = tkraise(self, aboveThis=None)
|  Raise this widget in the stacking order.

This is also marked as an alias.  The difference is the inclusions of the 
docstring of the original.  I think it should be, since it would not otherwise 
be present in the help output.

[issue34966] Pydoc: better support of method aliases

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka :

Pydoc supports aliases. If the alias is defined in the same class

class A:
def foo(self, x=42): pass
bar = foo

it will render the docstring only for the original function. For the alias it 
will output just "bar = foo(self, x=42)".

But this doesn't work if the original function or alias are inherited. It often 
happened in the tkinter and turtle modules which have a hierarchy of classes, 
and aliases defined in parent classes. Compare for example the rendering for 
methods itemconfig and lift in help(tkinter.Listbox).

The proposed PR makes pydoc detecting aliases for inherited methods.
