problem with property docstrings

M

Michael Muller

I've observed something strange about property docstrings and I'm
wondering if anyone here can clarify what's going on: if I create a class
derived from property, the docstrings of the instances end up being that
of the derived class, not the docstring passed into the property
constructor. Example:

class MyProp(property):
"MyProp docstring"
class Foo:
p = MyProp(None, None, None, "property p docstring")'MyProp docstring'

Can anyone explain why this is? Is this a bug?
