C.<p>With <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Python</span></a> now being &quot;the most popular programming language&quot; (don&#39;t get me started...), the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Unicode</span></a> consortium has announced a new <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/codepoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>codepoint</span></a> specifically to aid Python <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/developers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>developers</span></a> and increase efficiency -- both of time, and of storage.</p><p>The next Unicode release will include a codepoint representing triple double quotes, making <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/docstrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>docstrings</span></a> much easier.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/DoubleQuotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DoubleQuotes</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/TripleDoubleQuotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TripleDoubleQuotes</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/docstring" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>docstring</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/syntax" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>syntax</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/popularity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>popularity</span></a></p>
C.<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@davidism" class="u-url mention">@<span>davidism</span></a></span> </p><p>Depending on what you mean by attribute - you just want to extract the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/docstrings" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>docstrings</span></a>?</p><p>On class (and class instances) and function/method objects, it&#39;s available as `&lt;obj&gt;.__doc__`. Same for modules. That covers most types of objects...</p><p>If you mean extracting information from type annotations, there&#39;s an inspection interface for that, too.</p>

Not only can they not get out of date / become wrong (without causing checking failures), static type checking is much easier this way.</p>
