The only way I could get this to work was to change the way the properties were defined/initalized: #!/usr/bin/python class MyClass(object): def __init__(self): self.some_variable = 42 self._a = None self._b = "pi" self.a = property(self.get_a, self.set_a, None, "a is a property") self.b = property(self.get_b, self.set_b, None, "b is a property") def get_a(self): return self._a def set_a(self, value): self._a = value def get_b(self): return self._b def set_b(self, value): self._b = value test = MyClass() for k,v in test.__dict__.iteritems(): if isinstance(v, property): print k, v.__doc__ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
