R. David Murray added the comment: Yeah, on reflection (after I posted) I can see why people tend to leave out that blank line, because it is more parallel to not having a blank line after the 'def'. And I don't think I've ever seen anyone do the alternate version of keeping things parallel by putting a blank line before the docstring if the method has multiple sections, despite the recommendation in the PEP to do so.
However, you then need to delete the "if a method is written as a number of sections" sentence, since it has the same problem (it is recommending a blank line before the docstring, which nobody does...I didn't remember that recommendation at all myself). ---------- resolution: not a bug -> stage: resolved -> needs patch status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22715> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
