What methods of documenting Python code do you know?

In Python, the following methods are used for documenting code:

• Docstrings: special string literals placed immediately after the definition of a function, class, or module. They describe the purpose and usage.

def add(a, b):
    """Returns the sum of two numbers a and b."""
    return a + b

• Comments: single-line (#) or multi-line comments that explain complex parts of the code.

• PEP 257: guidelines for writing docstring style.

• Automatic documentation generation: using tools like Sphinx, which utilize docstrings to create HTML or PDF documentation.

Using docstrings is the best way to make code understandable and maintainable.
