[docs] [issue8983] Docstrings should refer to help(name), not name.__doc__

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: A couple more: $ grep -in "see.*\.__doc__" Lib/*.py Lib/doctest.py:1782: See doctest.__doc__ for an overview. Lib/inspect.py:162: See isfunction.__doc__ for attributes listing.""" an a really problematic Objects/typeobject.c:5529: "see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature", This affects every class' help and is very confusing when class doecstring does not show the constructor signature. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8983> _______________________________________
