What would you expect this to print?

class Property(property):
    'custom docstring'

print(Property(None, None, None, "hello").__doc__)

class Property(property):
    'custom docstring'

print(Property(None, None, None, "hello").__doc__)

This snippet is expected to print "hello" as well (at least it's what comment in cpython implementation suggests)
