Let's say I have the following two classes

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*
import abc


class Superclass(object):
    """The one to rule them all"""

    @abc.abstractmethod
    def give(self, ring):
        """Give out a ring"""
        pass


class Derived(Superclass):
    """Somebody has to do the work"""

    def give(self, ring):
        print("I pass the ring {} to you".format(ring))

Is it possible to instruct Sphinx (or even better sphinx-apidoc) to use the docstring of Superclass.give(...) for Derived.give(...) without copying it manually?

The Help widget of Spyder IDE does something similar but as far as I understand, fetching the parent's docstring is not handled by Sphinx there.
