New submission from Marco Buttu:
As reported in the title:
>>> float.as_integer_ratio.__doc__.splitlines()[2]
'Returns a pair of integers, whose ratio is exactly equal to the original'
>>> float.as_integer_ratio.__doc__.splitlines()[4]
'Raises OverflowError on infinities and a ValueError on NaNs.'
>>> float.conjugate.__doc__
'Returns self, the complex conjugate of any float.'
>>> float.is_integer.__doc__
'Returns True if the float is an integer.'
>>> float.__setformat__.__doc__.splitlines()[-2]
'Overrides the automatic determination of C-level floating point type.'
...
They should have been 'Return...', 'Raise...' and 'Override...'
Patch is attached
