[Python-ideas] inheriting docstrings

[Jan Kaliszewski]

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'

Cheers.
