Let me add a few more words here. I support efforts to both standardize and raise the usefulness of doc strings. I just haven't yet spent the time to read PEP 257 (being the relevant one) in full, digest it into my Python-commenting brain-space, decide what subset of its suggestions are appropriate for us to use in scripts like these, and go back and change them. - Julian
