     Type:  Bugs                     |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  To Be Determined         |   Component:  Python 
  Version:  Boost 1.47.0             |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                           |  
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 When defining a method through "def" and using "pure_virtual" (see below)
 the given docstring is duplicated in the result python definition.

 C++ class with pure-virtual method:
 ===================================
 class IOperation
 {
 public:

     virtual string AsString() = 0;
 }

 The wrapper to expose it to Python:
 ===================================
 class_<IOperation, boost::noncopyable, boost::shared_ptr<IOperation>
 >("IOperation",
  "docstring for class",
  no_init)

  .def("AsString",
       pure_virtual(&IOperation::AsString),
       "docstring for method AsString")
 ;

 Result python class definition:
 ===============================
 class IOperation(instance):
   """ docstring for class """

   def AsString(self):
     """
     docstring

     docstring """
     pass
