Get the documentation string for an object, cleaned up with :func:`cleandoc`.
If the documentation string for an object is not provided and the object is

string from the inheritance hierarchy.
.. versionchanged:: 3.5
Documentation strings are now inherited if not overridden.

- Documentation strings for classes are no longer inherited.

:class:`ftplib.FTP_TLS` as a keyword-only parameter, and the default encoding
is changed from Latin-1 to UTF-8 to follow :rfc:`2640`.
-* :func:`inspect.getdoc` no longer returns docstring inherited from the type
- of the object or from parent class if it is a class if it is not defined
- in the object itself.
- (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`40257`.)
-
* :meth:`asyncio.loop.shutdown_default_executor` has been added to
:class:`~asyncio.AbstractEventLoop`, meaning alternative event loops that
inherit from it should have this method defined.
