Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: The bug is the discrepancy between doc
"[3] A string literal appearing as the first statement in the function body is transformed into the function’s __doc__ attribute and therefore the function’s docstring. [4] A string literal appearing as the first statement in the class body is transformed into the namespace’s __doc__ item and therefore the class’s docstring. " and behavior. In this case, I would agree that the behavior is wrong unless somehow justified. I verified in 3.0.1, winxp: '\x00' ok in function, not in class. ---------- nosy: +tjreedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5373> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
