I think that doc strings are the most important way in which you should be commenting on your code. Once the code works, you can elimainate most inline comments, leaving only doc string for everything and a few comments on some particularly confusing parts. Other than that, comments usually only clutter Python code. But remember that you are the person who understands your code best, so don't be too fanatical about deleting inline comments.
