575.2.3.1 Which Docstrings Are Examined?
58</H3>
59
60<P>
61The module docstring, and all function, class and method docstrings are
62searched. Objects imported into the module are not searched.
63
64<P>
65In addition, if <code>M.__test__</code> exists and "is true", it must be a
66dict, and each entry maps a (string) name to a function object, class
67object, or string. Function and class object docstrings found from
68<code>M.__test__</code> are searched, and strings are treated as if they
69were docstrings. In output, a key <code>K</code> in <code>M.__test__</code> appears
70with name
71
72<P>
73<div class="verbatim"><pre>
74&lt;name of M&gt;.__test__.K
75</pre></div>
76
77<P>
78Any classes found are recursively searched similarly, to test docstrings in
79their contained methods and nested classes.

84A "private name" concept is deprecated and no longer
