Hi all, over on the fellowship o' the packaging mailing list, one of our GSoC students (merwok) asked about how much formatting info should go into Python stdlib docstrings. Right now the stdlib docstrings are primarily text, AFAIK; but with the switch to Sphinx for the official Python docs, should we permit ReST-general and/or Sphinx-specific markup in docstrings?
Hmm, I don't actually see that the stdlib docstrings are imported into the Python documentation anywhere, so maybe the use of Sphinx isn't that relevant. But how about ReST in general? See http://sphinx.pocoo.org/markup/index.html for sphinx-specific markup constructs. thanks, --titus -- C.
