Analyze class assignments outside of their class scope

[mwhudson]

Pydoctor does not generate documentation for classes wrapped by SWIG (www.swig.org). SWIG creates classes like this:

class event(object):
    thisown = _swig_property(lambda x: x.this.own(), lambda x, v: x.this.own(v), doc='The membership flag')
    __repr__ = _swig_repr
    def __init__(self, _args, *_kwargs):
        _events.event_swiginit(self,_events.new_event(_args, *_kwargs))
    __swig_destroy__ = _events.delete_event
event.loop_once = new_instancemethod(_events.event_loop_once,None,event)
event.loop_wait = new_instancemethod(_events.event_loop_wait,None,event)
event_swigregister = _events.event_swigregister
event_swigregister(event)

pydoctor will in this case only document event.__init__(). It would be nice if it would also document event.loop_once and event.loop_wait.

Yuck :)

Something can probably be done, though.

This issue could be renamed as follow: "Analyze class assignments outside of their class scope".

This is valid python:

class Point:
    x:int
    y:int

def __init__Point(self, x, y):
    self.x = x
    self.y = y

Point.__init__ = __init__Point

Currently, the __init__ is not documented. Should not be too hard to fix...
