[Python-Dev] Reminder: an oft-forgotten rule about docstring formatting (PEP 257) (original) (raw)

I'd like to urge stdlib contributors and core devs to heed it -- or explain why you can't.

Where I can, I do, however I often find it difficult to come up with a one-liner, especially one that mentions the parameters to functions. If the one-line rule is going to be violated, I go whole hog and don't bother with the blank line either. (If I'm going to punch a hole in a rule, I might as well create one big enough to comfortably walk through.)
