@brianokken re: docstrings (Python Bytes)
I'm all with you: I believe the name and signature of the function should be enough. Nevertheless, I like writing docstrings, especially for modules and classes, where I go in details on how they're implemented.
I use the reST (PEP-0257) format, because Sphinx makes very good docs out of those (even with interlinking!). However, I've seen many people use Google or NumPy (even people not affiliated with either). I was quite surprised by that, too.
