Hi,
Thanks for the reference.
Access to the __doc__ property of a function is always done by first
importing the function and then calling the property.
What if I want to include the docstring of a function in the context
this same function returns?
should I simply import the views module again?
Or is there a simple way of referencing itself inside of my function?
I would like to be able to do something like this:
def myview(request):
"""
My docstring
"""
help = self.__doc__ #Obviously this does not work
