Enable the inheritance of classmethod for docstrings

[cgarciae]

Currently the docstrings for inherited classmethods are completely ignored, this forces the user make trivial reimplementation of methods such as __init__ just to show proper documentation.

Original disscutions: mkdocstrings/mkdocstrings#78 (comment)

Are there any news about this? Being able to inherit __init__ docstrings would be super helpful! It also seems like even docstrings of reimplemented __init__methods are not displayed for subclasses.

Is there any news on this ?

Hello, no news unfortunately! Pull requests are welcome if you want to try and fix this. It seems to happen here: https://github.com/mkdocstrings/pytkdocs/blob/master/src/pytkdocs/loader.py#L911. I'm not sure why inspect.getdoc does not look up into base classes since it's supposed to: https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html#inspect.getdoc
