Yes.

I'm not sure I see how either *could* have docstrings.  Am I missing
something?

I also did:

__getattr__(self, name):
    if name == 'test':
        return self.my_test()

*and* tried

__getattr__(self, name):
    if name == 'test':
        return self.my_test().__of__(self)

for:

def my_test(self):
    """ got a docstring here too """
    return 'simple test completed'

Each of the above uses of my_test returned the same docstring error.

Sounds like I've got some Googling to do.  Thanks for the push in the
right direction.
