There are some tradeoffs though. For example, NumPy-style docstrings have other sections, like Examples, References, and so forth. AFAIU docments syntax cannot be easily extended to support those, so users that want them would need to write a full napoleon-compliant docstring.
Sat Aug 07 12:20:21 +0000 2021Replying to @jeremyphoward and @157239n
In any case, docments looks like a great solution for simple docstrings, and being able to not repeat parameter names and types is awesome. I would love to have the best of both worlds :)
