我正在尝试在Python中进行一些类继承.我希望每个班级和继承的班级都有良好的文档字符串.所以我认为对于继承的类,我希望它：

>继承基类docstring
>可能会将相关的额外文档附加到docstring

在类继承情况下是否有任何(可能是优雅或pythonic)方式进行此类文档字符串操作？多重继承怎么样？

解决方法:

你并不是唯一的一个！不久之前有关于comp.lang.python的讨论,并且创建了一个食谱.看看here.

"""
doc_inherit decorator

Usage:

class Foo(object):
    def foo(self):
        "Frobber"
        pass

class Bar(Foo):
    @doc_inherit
    def foo(self):
        pass 

Now, Bar.foo.__doc__ == Bar().foo.__doc__ == Foo.foo.__doc__ == "Frobber"
