Function documentation incorrectly identified in Code Explorer tab about pyscripter HOT 4 CLOSED

Fixed in version 1.7.2.5

def test():
    pass
    """This should not be PyDOC!"""

still produces a PyDOC string. According to the Python documentation
(http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/):
"A docstring is a string literal that occurs as the first statement in a module,
function, class, or method definition. Such a docstring becomes the __doc__ 
special
attribute of that object."

Note: the "raw" and "unicode" strings does not seems to be supported either.

a) Triple quote comments not immediately after the definition of a class and a 
function

You are right on this point.  However one has to be pragmatic and balance the 
speed
of parsing and coding with the treatment of corner cases.  How often have you 
seen
stand-alone triple quote strings in the middle of a function?  If it is for 
comment
purposes one would just use comments. Note that assignments such as 
a = """ string """
are not treated as docstrings.


b) raw and unicode triple quote comments are supported.  Try
def f():
    r"""Test Comment"""
    pass

def g():
    u"""Test Comment"""
    pass

> You are right on this point.  However one has to be pragmatic and balance the

Why so? To identify the doc sting you only have to parse the first statement 
after
the definition. If the line does not begin with a triple while now you look 
through
the whole code. My feeling is that it will be even faster.

Yes, that's my coding habits. I often copy large parts of code to mangle with 
it, and
putting triple code at the beginning and the end is faster than commenting each 
line.
:-P This is how I found this bug in the first place.

Oops, sorry. I actually meant:
def g():
    u"""T\xe9st Comm\xe9nt"""
    pass
Should be: “Tést Commént”

and

def h():
    """Test Comme\nt"""
    pass

Should be: “Test Comme
t”

You are right, the raw is behaving as expected – shows the string literally.
