Currently, `inspect.getdoc()` fails to inherit docstrings in dynamically generated subclasses, such as
```
class Base:
def method(self): "some docstring"
def make_subclass():
class subclass(Base):
def method(self): return super().method()
return subclass
subclass = make_subclass()
inspect.getdoc(subclass.method) # => returns None
```
because `inspect._findclass()` tries to find the base class by parsing `subclass.method.__qualname__` which is `"make_subclass.<locals>.subclass.method"` and chokes over `.<locals>.`.
In the case where the method does rely on `super()`, there is another way we can go back to the "owning" class of the method: by looking up the contents of the `__class__` cell (which is set up to make 0-arg super()).
Perhaps a `__class__` cell could even be set up for *all* methods defined in dynamically created subclasses (i.e. whose `__qualname__` includes `.<locals>.`), to help with introspection? |
