Yes, it certainly does. Not that you'll get many Pythonistas to confess
to that fact. Somehow those who brag about the readability and

class.method(sting name, int count)
- is *obviously* more expressive than -
class.method(name, count)
class.method(string name, int count):
"""Return the cap'tain's age.
name: a string giving the name of the cap'tain daughter
count: an int giving the number of fingers left in the cap'tain
right hand

In python, attributes/parameters have no type (but you know that). By
specifying them in the method signature, you're just duplicating the
information hold in the docstring.
