There's no reason they couldn't:

   >>> help(2)

   Help on built-in number 2 in module builtins:

   2
      2 -> int

      The natural number immediately succeeding 1 (qv). The number of
      hemispheres in a healthy mammal's brain.

It might also be useful to define a __docstr__() method for cases where
a static __doc__ string is unwieldy. Then, the class could construct the
doc string for its objects.
