| Suppose one makes a C extension type that is callable and has a __doc__ attribute. Currently, calling help() on the object yields something like the following: >>> help(scipy.linalg._flinalg.slu_c) Help on fortran: >>> hasattr(scipy.linalg._flinalg.slu_c, '__doc__') True >>> help() could give more useful information by modifying pydoc.TextDoc.docother to check for a __doc__ attribute and add it (just as docother checks for the 'doc' keyword). | ||

| I believe this has been implemented now. |
