Documentation after members in python (with doxygen)

I am using doxygen and have the following code:

def __init__(self):
    '''

    '''
    if not '_ready' in dir(self) or not self._ready:
        self._stream = sys.stderr   ##!< stream to which all output is written
        self._ready = True          ##!< @internal Flag to check initialization of singelton

For some reason doxygen tells me that self._stream (Member _stream) is undocumented. can I document it with a comment, like the doxygen docu describes in Putting documentation after members and if so, whats the right way?

**edit:**this seems to be related to me having no new line, for example here:

class escapeMode(object):
    '''
    Enum to represent the escape mode.
    '''
    ALWAYS      = 1     ##!< Escape all values
    NECESSARY   = 2     ##!< Escape only values containing seperators or starting with quotation

Doxygen only complains about ALWAYS being undocumented, I would like to avoid inserting newlines behind every new attribute I document this way since it destroys the value of newlines for separating logical blocks like loops or if statements from surrounding code

This is currently not supported in doxygen, as previously answered here. If you put the comment on the preceeding line it will work fine:

class escapeMode(object):
    '''
    Enum to represent the escape mode.
    '''
    ## Escape all values
    ALLWAYS     = 1
    ## Escape only values containing seperators or starting with quotation
    NECESSARY   = 2

Hope that's not too late...
