We've been trying to find an easy way to inherit docstrings when
overriding methods in subclasses, e.g. so that Sphinx does a nice job.
We used Shai's DocInherit code from this post:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/tree/browse_frm/thread/1e4075ba10dcbdd9/f63651cd9e76df63?rnum=1&_d
G, sorry about the line wrapping horror; trying again.
class InheritDoc(object):
"""
Docstring inheriting method descriptor
The class itself is used as a decorator that creates a class
property for
the method; the first time the property is used it installs the
method's doc
