[Techtalk] Python doc strings

[dominik schramm]

Hi Carla,

I don't remember much from my Python attempts, but...
The documentation string is returned by the __doc__ member function.
If this is used at all is up to the program that uses the function
(such as the GUI). I don't know any Python GUIs, unfortunately.

these are two pairs of underscores _ _ doc _ _

one underscore too few on each side.

hope this helped,
dominik
