Python docstring folding

[Rock Storm]

Dear all,

I'm new to Emacs and I'm trying to use it (among other things) as an
IDE for Python development. However I'm struggling with code
folding. I installed 'outline-magic' [1]. Which works great but it
doesn't fold docstrings. This is something that should be addressed in
'python-mode' right? I can't be the first one to stumble across
this. What am I missing? Is there an easy way to achieve docstring
folding? Or should I be using other folding package?

Thanks a lot,

What do you mean by folding doc strings? What do you
want that it doesn't do?

If you just want to toggle whether doc strings (only)
are hidden, see this:

The behaviour I was expecting would be something similar to what this
plugin does [1].

Thanks a lot for the hint. I'll try that. However, isn't there a less
complicated way of doing it? Is it so uncommon? How did Python
developers live before you provided them with this? :P

Thanks again,
