I'm not sure if this is a regression or an intentional change. I know that the behavior has changed.
If a function has a docstring but no other body, Python 3.7b5 assigns the line number of the docstring to the implicit "return None". Previous versions (including 3.7b4) used the line number of the "def".
Demonstration:
$ cat /tmp/empty.py
def empty():
pass
def empty_with_docstring():
'''Docstring'''
def docstring():
'''Docstring'''
return 1
import dis, sys
print(sys.version)
for fn in [empty, empty_with_docstring, docstring]:
print(fn.__name__)
dis.dis(fn)
