New submission from A.M. Kuchling:
io.py contains the following to declare ABCs for some of its classes:
class IOBase(_io._IOBase, metaclass=abc.ABCMeta):
pass
(and similarly for RawIOBase, BufferedIOBase, TextIOBase).
_io._IOBase has an extensive docstring, but IOBase doesn't. (Python doesn't
inherit parent-class docstrings, on the theory that the subclass may change
things that make the docstring invalid.)
I propose the attached patch.
