strange string

[Skaperen]

Try to print type(doc_str) perhaps.

i get <class 'botocore.docs.docstring.ClientMethodDocstring'> from that. so i probably should do str() on it. still, i expect attribute __doc__ to be a str already.

---

that seems to do it. len(str(doc_str)) = 3079

---

it looks like str() is doing the same thing as repr() including changing newline characters to the 2-str '\n' (which would be '\\n' in source code literal to create the same 2-str).

---

i tried copy.copy() and it just copies that class object as-is (e.g. the copy behaves the same).

---

i did dir(doc_str) and its attributes look like str attributes.

---

looking closer it looks like it has all str attributes plus a few more. so it's trying to be like a str in some way.
