+Docstrings can be customized by making direct assignments to the ``__doc__`` +fields: + + >>> Book = namedtuple('Book', ['id', 'title', 'authors']) + >>> Book.__doc__ = 'Hardcover book in active collection' + >>> Book.id = '13-digit ISBN' + >>> Book.title = 'Title of first printing' + >>> Book.author = 'List of authors sorted by last name'
Should these be: Book.id.__doc__ = ... etc.?
+ Point = namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y']) + Point.__doc__ = 'ordered pair' + Point.x.__doc__ = 'abscissa' + Point.y.__doc__ = 'ordinate'
