def docformat(docstring, docdict=None):
''' Fill a function docstring from variables in dictionary
Adapt the indent of the inserted docs
Parameters
----------
docstring : string
docstring from function, possibly with dict formatting strings
docdict : dict, optional
dictionary with keys that match the dict formatting strings
and values that are docstring fragments to be inserted. The
indentation of the inserted docstrings is set to match the
minimum indentation of the ``docstring`` by adding this
indentation to all lines of the inserted string, except the
first
Returns
-------
outstring : string
string with requested ``docdict`` strings inserted
Examples
--------
>>> docformat(' Test string with %(value)s', {'value':'inserted value'})
' Test string with inserted value'
>>> docstring = 'First line\\n Second line\\n %(value)s'
>>> inserted_string = "indented\\nstring"
>>> docdict = {'value': inserted_string}
>>> docformat(docstring, docdict)
'First line\\n Second line\\n indented\\n string'

def inherit_docstring_from(cls):
"""
This decorator modifies the decorated function's docstring by
replacing occurrences of '%(super)s' with the docstring of the
method of the same name from the class `cls`.
If the decorated method has no docstring, it is simply given the
docstring of `cls`s method.
Parameters
----------
cls : Python class or instance
A class with a method with the same name as the decorated method.
The docstring of the method in this class replaces '%(super)s' in the
docstring of the decorated method.
Returns
-------
f : function
The decorator function that modifies the __doc__ attribute
of its argument.
Examples
--------
In the following, the docstring for Bar.func created using the
docstring of `Foo.func`.
>>> class Foo(object):

... '''Do something useful.'''
