>>> import sys >>> def docstring(): ... return sys._getframe(1).f_code.co_consts[0] ... >>> def foo(): ... print "My docstring is %r" % docstring() ... >>> def bar(): ... "bar's docstring" ... print "My docstring is %r" % docstring() ... >>> foo() My docstring is None >>> bar() My docstring is "bar's docstring" No idea how brittle that might be, though.
