[New-bugs-announce] [issue6130] There ought to be a way for extension types to associate documentation with their tp_new or tp_init methods

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

New submission from Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun at divmod.com>:

If an extension type supplies a tp_new or tp_init, these will be invoked
by the normal instantiation logic.  They will also be exposed as
`__new__´ and `__init__´ attributes of the type.  However, there is no
way to supply a docstring for these methods.  Instead, these methods get
a hard coded docstring defined in typeobject.c.
