highlight python docstrings as comments with emacs

Question

Is it possible to customise emacs such that python docstrings are highlighted the same way as comments are? Here is an example of a python docstring

def python_function(argument):
    """
    doc string here

    may be multiline
    """
    return some_func(argument)

Answer 1

With python-mode.el, customize font-lock-doc-face accordingly. This needs also py-use-font-lock-doc-face-p set to t .

Besides all faces are customizable. Mx customize-face RET font-lock-string-face RET and set it to the value wanted. However this would affect all modes.

Answer 2

从Emacs 25.1开始，Emacs内置的python.el显示带有font-lock-doc-face文档字符串。
