07 - Python Comments and Docstrings

Docstrings, or documentation strings, are a way to associate documentation with Python modules, functions, classes, and methods. They are intended to explain the purpose and usage of a module, function, class, or method and are usually enclosed in triple quotes (''' or """). Docstrings can be accessed at runtime using the __doc__ attribute.

Using docstrings is considered good practice in Python, as it helps in generating documentation automatically, and tools like Sphinx can use them to create documentation for your code. Additionally, IDEs and other tools can use docstrings to provide context-aware help and suggestions.
