def __init__(self, docstring, is_attribute=False, process_type_fields=False):

Parameters
docstring:`str` or `list` of `str`	The docstring to parse, given either as a string or split into individual lines.
is_attribute:`bool`	If the documented object is an attribute, it will use the `_parse_attribute_docstring` method.
process_type_fields:`bool`	Whether to process the type fields or to leave them untouched (default) in order to be processed later. Value `process_type_fields=False` is currently only used in the tests.

def __str__(self):

Return the parsed docstring in reStructuredText format.

Returns
`str`	Unicode version of the docstring.

def lines(self):

Return the parsed lines of the docstring in reStructuredText format.

Returns
`list(str)`	The lines of the docstring in a list.

warnings: List[Tuple[str, int]] =

Warning messages triggered during the conversion.

is_type_field:`bool`	Whether the string is the content of a `:type:` or `rtype` field. If this is `True` and `GoogleDocstring`'s `process_type_fields` is `False` (defaults), the type will NOT be converted (instead, it's returned as is) because it will be converted by the code provided by `ParsedTypeDocstring` class in a later stage of docstring parsing.
