Link function1.__doc__ to function2.__doc__

Does anybody know if it is possible to link a function1.__doc__ to a function2.__doc__ without writting it 2 times ?

For example I tried something like:

def function1():
    """This is my function1 doc !
    """
    pass

def function2():
    __doc__ = function1.__doc__
    pass


>>> help(function2)
>>> 'This is my function1 doc !'

The last line is what I would like to have.

Thanks ! :)

Answer

you can just assign it at after you define the function.

def function1():
    """This is my function1 doc !
    """
    pass

def function2():
    pass
function2.__doc__ = function1.__doc__

Since a function is just an object in python with attributes, you can change the attributes to what you want.
