[Python-Dev] __objclass__ documentation

[Ethan Furman]

It was pointed in Issue16938[1] that __objclass__ is not documented anywhere.

Is the following an appropriate description? (in Doc/reference/datamodel.rst in user-defined functions)



       +-------------------------+-------------------------------+-----------+
       | :attr:`__objclass__`    | The class this object belongs |           |
       |                         | to; useful when the object is |           |
       |                         | a descriptor, or a virtual or |           |
       |                         | dynamic class attribute, and  |           |
       |                         | it's __class__ attribute does |           |
       |                         | not match the class it is     |           |
       |                         | associated with, or it is not |           |
       |                         | in that class' ``__dict__``.  |           |
