Adding docstrings to namedtuples?

Question

Is it possible to add a documentation string to a namedtuple in an easy manner?

I tried

from collections import namedtuple

Point = namedtuple(\"Poin         


        

Answer 1

Since Python 3.5, docstrings for namedtuple objects can be updated.

From the whatsnew:

Point = namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y'])
Point.__doc__ += ': Cartesian coodinate'
Point.x.__doc__ = 'abscissa'
Point.y.__doc__ = 'ordinate'
