I have this innocent and simple code: from collections import deque exhaust_iter = deque(maxlen=0).extend exhaust_iter.__doc__ = "Exhaust an iterator efficiently without caching any of its yielded values."
Obviously it does not work. Is there a way to get it to work simply and without creating a new scope (which would be a rather inefficient a way to set documentation, and would hamper introspection)? How about dropping the "simply" requirement? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
