[Python-Dev] Doc strings for typeslots? (original) (raw)

Um, I'm afraid this is how it is. xxx methods have generic docstrings. :-(

Can you just clarify a bit what you mean by "this": would my idea of poking a docstring into the wrapper object work, or do all types share the same wrappers?

It seems as though they don't share the same wrappers...

Python 2.2 (#1, Jul 11 2002, 14:19:37)

id(int.dict['add']) 135662196 id(float.dict['add']) 135668268

...or is there some magic going on there that I'm not aware of?

Thanks,
