Allow property objects to use the fget function's docstring if a property docstring wasn't specified. This was suggested by someone on python-dev or c.l.py, but I don't remember who it was (sorry). Function docstrings are easier to write (read: prettier) than explicit doc= arguments, so this should make more properties have docstrings, sometimes automagically (I know it will for my code, anyway). It gets even better with syntatic sugar for decorators; read-only properties can now be defined, including docstring, with just one function: @property def golden(self): """The Golden Ratio. (Don't ask why this is a property.)""" return (1 + math.sqrt(5)) / 2 The doc part of the patch also improves some markup in the vicinity.
