Hello,
does anyone know a way to set the __doc__ string of a new style class? Any attempt I tried results in the following error:
Python 2.4 (#1, Dec 30 2004, 08:00:10) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> class Foo(object) : ... pass ... >>> Foo.__doc__ = "bar" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: attribute '__doc__' of 'type' objects is not writable
I can understand someone arguing that "changing a doc string is during programm execution and should therefore be forbidden!" But, I cannot even find out a way to set the doc string, when I CREATE a class using type(name,bases,dict) ... At least this should be possible, IMHO.
