Message 182261 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Here's a patch which converts all the Doxygen comments in ElementTree.py to docstrings!

Something I noticed was that the

from _elementtree import *

...at the bottom of ElementTree.py sort of overwrites the docstrings of the Python module. So if you did... from xml.etree import ElementTree; help(ElementTree) from the interpreter, you'll see blank spots for a bunch of classes/methods like Element, ParseError, SubElement etc etc

maybe docstrings should be also added in Modules/_elementtree.c? perhaps that would be too much copy and pastage, hmmm
