Unless one had a misfortune and wanted another docstring.
Good point. I guess having differing docstrings should make
otherwise equal objects ineligible for merging.
mod1.py:
MAX_BUFSIZE = 8192
MAX_BUFSIZE.__doc__ = 'Size of the hardware buffer used for I/O on
this device.'
mod2.py
DEFAULT_CACHESIZE = 8192
DEFAULT_CACHESIZE.__doc__ = 'Convenient size for the foo cache, not
to big or too small.'
I think setting the docstring of an existing immutable object
would have to be disallowed -- you need to create a new object
if you want it to have a distinct docstring, e.g.
MAX_BUFSIZE = int(8192, __doc__ = 'Size of the hardware buffer used for I/O on
this device.')
