[Python-Dev] Documentation idea

[Raymond Hettinger]

Yes, I'm looking a couple of different approaches to loading the strings.
For now though, I want to focus on the idea itself, not the implementation.
The important thing is to gather widespread support before getting into
the details of how the strings get loaded.

Have you ever considered the same approach for docstrings in C code?
As reference, NumPy already has some trickery for maintaining
docstrings outside C sources. Of course, descriptors would be a far
better for implementing and support this in core Python and other
projects...
