``True`` when finding the empty string and the indexes are completely out of
range. See :issue:`24284`.
* The :func:`inspect.getdoc` function now returns documentation strings
inherited from base classes. Documentation strings no longer need to be
duplicated if the inherited documentation is appropriate. To suppress an
inherited string, an empty string must be specified (or the documentation
may be filled in). This change affects the output of the :mod:`pydoc`
module and the :func:`help` function. See :issue:`15582`.
