title: Doxygen end of line comments on declarations in Python
body: <p>In C/C++, you can force doxygen to recognize that a comment applies to the text preceding it on a line. Any of these:</p>
  
  <pre><code>int my_variable;                 /*!&lt; This is my variable */
  int my_variable;                 /**&lt; This is my variable */
  int my_variable;                 //!&lt; This is my variable
  int my_variable;                 ///&lt; This is my variable
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>adds the string to the documentation for <code>my_variable</code>. Trying the equivalent in Python doesn't seem to work. This works:</p>
  
  <pre><code>## This is my variable
  my_variable = None
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This:</p>
  
  <pre><code>my_variable = None               ## This is my variable
  my_other_variable = None
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>attaches the documentation to <code>my_other_variable</code>, as you'd expect, but both of these:</p>
  
  <pre><code>my_variable = None               ##&lt; This is my variable
  my_variable = None               #!&lt; This is my variable
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>seem to just discard the documentation. Is there a way to do the equivalent of <code>//!&lt;</code> in Python?</p>
