Let's wait until Mark Shannon is back from vacation (another week). Note that class docstrings are contained in the class body code object -- there's executable code equivalent to __doc__ = "this is the docstring" But I agree it's not easily found without analyzing the bytecode. Maybe the status quo is best after all? I would like to be able to identify code objects for functions, we could add a bit to co_flags for that.

Note that class docstrings *are* contained in the class body code object -- there's executable code equivalent to

__doc__ = "this is the docstring"

But I agree it's not easily found without analyzing the bytecode.
