I have a module toolkit.py with some functions I use often. One of these functions displays a usage message (__doc__).
def usage(messages=[], exit=-1): """Print the doc string as wells as any useful messages.""" print(__doc__) for message in messages: print("\033[91m{}\033[0m".format(message)) if exit >= 0: sys.exit(exit) I import this module into another module, with the doc string I want to display. However, calling usage prints toolkit's doc string (None), not the current module's doc string. How can I access the top level module's doc string from toolkit? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
