Hi Phil,

Did I ever get back to you about this? If not, sorry!
No, AFAIK there is currently no way to do this using class.def.
Wrapped Function objects Boost.Python do not have a place to store a
docstring, nor do they have a __getattr__ function to retrieve the __doc__
attribute. It's a good idea, though!
I guess in newer versions of Python, functions can have all kinds of useful
attributes...
