Docstrings and class Attributes

Is it possible to put a doc string on a class attribute? Something
like this

class Test (object):
    '''classx'''

    fred = 10
    '''attribute'''

print Test.__doc__
print Test.fred.__doc__

This code produces this output

classx
int(x[, base]) -> integer

Convert a string or number to an integer, if possible.  A floating
point
argument will be truncated towards zero (this does not include a
string
representation of a floating point number!)  When converting a string,
use
the optional base.  It is an error to supply a base when converting a
non-string.  If base is zero, the proper base is guessed based on the
string content.  If the argument is outside the integer range a
long object will be returned instead.

===========

So the class doc string is return, but no doc string for the
attribute.
