[Python-Dev] Sharing docstrings between the Python and C implementations of a module (original) (raw)

Would it make sense to think about adding this in the scope of the argument clinic work, or is it too unrelated? This seems like a commonly needed thing for large parts of the stdlib (where the C accelerator overrides Python code).

Or maybe separate doc strings from both code bases altogether and insert them where appropriate as part of the build process? That said, I haven't any idea how you might accomplish that. Maybe this general problem should be thrown over the python-ideas to cook for awhile...
