Hi, I'm not really sure about the right terminology, but here is my question, boiled down to this code:
class widget (object): """This is a widget.""" def __init__(self): self._x = None def fget(self): return self._x def fset(self, value): self._x = value print self._x, 'Ok' x = property(fget = fget, fset = fset, doc= "It prints") print widget.x.__doc__ w = widget() w.x = 5 print w.x.__doc__ I would like the last statement to print the doc string that I specified in property, instead of the docstring for an int. The goal is to have ipython print that string with the command w.x? So the user knows what this attribute does, and how he can set it. Is this possible ?
