Re: [Python-ideas] inheriting docstrings

Probably better names...

class MyDict(dict):

    @functools.basedoc(dict)
    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        super(dict, self).__setitem__(key, value)
        ...

'docfrom' instead of 'basedoc' or maybe: 'inheritingdoc' or 'derivdoc'?

@functools.superdocs  # for methods without docstrings
class MyDict(dict):

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        super(dict, self).__setitem__(key, value)
        ...

'docfromsuper' instead of 'superdocs'
