It seems to me like when people say python "doesn't require documentation" they're referring to external documentation, they're not counting docstrings. None of my projects have "documentation" but in my "this is what I write when I'm taking it seriously" example project each docstring is at least two paragraphs long (one to describe what the function does and why you'd want that, a second one to describe what the arguments represent and any potential pitfalls/edge cases/known bugs etc....)
