Question

I help to maintain a package for python called nxt-python. It uses metaclasses to define the methods of a control object. Here's the method that defines the available functions:

class _Meta(type):
    'Metaclass which adds one method for each telegram opcode'

    def __init__(cls, name, bases, dict):
        super(_Meta, cls).__init__(name, bases, dict)
        for opcode in OPCODES:
            poll_func, parse_func = OPCODES[opcode]
            m = _make_poller(opcode, poll_func, parse_func)
            setattr(cls, poll_func.__name__, m)

I want to be able to add a different docstring to each of these methods that it adds. m is a method returned by _make_poller(). Any ideas? Is there some way to work around the python restriction on changing docstrings?
