[ Pycharm does not auto-create documentation stubs ]
I'm not sure why this is happening on this computer; it's never happened on any other. When I try to create a docstring for a function or class in pycharm, nothing happens. I.e.:
def foo(bar):
""""""
pass
Should insert a docstring upon pressing enter; instead it simply does:
def foo(bar):
"""
"""
pass

This is a known bug and should be fixed in 2016.1.1.
One workaround, as described in the issue:
A workaround for this is to just """ before the code of your first line, then drop that code down a newline when it populates. Clunky, but it is a workaround for now.
