While working on #8810, I was reminded of the problem of wanting to inherit docstrings while replacing a method implementation.
The abstract base class method docstrings for tzinfo.utcoffset and tzinfo.dst are also correct for the concrete subclasses in the pure Python and the C versions. However, the docstrings currently need to be duplicated in all 3 places manually.
functools.wraps already plays in this space, but arguably asserts *too much* about the relationship between components
A couple of descriptors on bound and unbound methods (for __doc__ and __signature__) could have dealt with this fairly easily, but we don't have unbound methods any more :( |
