BAttribute docstrings and Additional docstrings are two types of extra docstrings that can be extracted by software tools.

CString Iiterals that occur in places other than the first statement in a module, function, or class definition can act as documentation They are recognized by the Python bytecode compiler and are accessible as runtime object attributes

DString literals that occur immediately after a simple assignment at the top level of a module are called complementary docstrings

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The true statement related to PEP 257 isOption B. According to PEP 257, string literals occurring elsewhere in Python code may also act as documentation. They are not recognized by the Python bytecode compiler and are not accessible as runtime object attributes (i.e. not assigned todoc), but two types of extra docstrings may be extracted by software tools: String literals occurring immediately after a simple assignment at the top level of a module, class, orinitmethod are called ''attribute docstrings''.String literals occurring immediately after another docstring are called ''additional docstrings''1.

I think D) String literals that occur immediately after a simple assignment at the top level of a module are called complimentary docstrings makes sense too.

I'm not sure about the right answer, but I think B) Attribute docstrings and Additional docstrings are two types of extra docstrings that can be extracted by software tools.

I disagree with you, Dino. I believe the correct answer is C) String literals that occur in places other than the first statement in a module, function, or class definition can act as documentation.
