Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
A couple more:
$ grep -in "see.*\.__doc__" Lib/*.py
Lib/doctest.py:1782: See doctest.__doc__ for an overview.
Lib/inspect.py:162: See isfunction.__doc__ for attributes listing."""
an a really problematic
Objects/typeobject.c:5529: "see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature",
This affects every class' help and is very confusing when class doecstring does not show the constructor signature.
