Around the time of the 2.6.4 release, it was suggested that Python 2.6.3 changed the __doc__ attribute to read-only. See: http://bugs.python.org/issue7183 When asked whether this read-only behaviour was intentional, Guido answered, simply "Yes" and also wrote: On Oct 22, 2009, at 1:58 PM, Guido van Rossum wrote: Well __doc__ isn't a normal attribute -- it doesn't follow inheritance rules. I suggested that it might be helpful to document this "special" behaviour and also any other attributes that are "special" though which ones they might be are unknown at this time. |

This is similar with #9438, about __debug__ being read-only. |

Is this obsoleted by #9451? |

No, because that patch doesn't document the special inheritance rules for __doc__ (which are uniquely special even among special methods). Now, exactly where one would want to document those rules, I'm not sure. |
