That doesn't actually make a docstring, though. It makes a string object and
points the name ds at it. Do you know what a docstring is?

I'm not sure how a function can get a generic handle to itself, but if
you're willing to hardcode the function name, then this technique works:
def test():
"""This is my doc string"""
print test.__doc__
test()
Outputs:
This is my doc string

Consider the following:
## code
def test():
"""This is my docstring"""
print(??) ## can I print the docstring above?
## /code
It possible for a function to print it's own docstring?
thanks
(pointers to docs could be sufficient)
