> Could you briefly explain what are Docstrings?

strings attached to a function/method/object in python world, i.e.

def foo(a,b):
  """this method sums a and b.
      stuff in triple quotes is almosty like here documents"""
  return a+b

You can access them via reflection (they're the __doc__ attribute).
