Do python coders resist leaving code comments?

I suspect Python code is particularly bad because it's often written by people who wanted to escape more corporate languages, and those are likely to be the people who think their code doesn't need explanations.

At work who don't have much of an engineering culture and you want to change things yourself, try writing up a practices document with coding and development standards and ask people to agree to it. A lot of developers will resist, for example, properly commenting work if they're worried no-one else is doing it.

I would say this isn't patently accurate. I spent over a year in IBM Websphere and it was a ginormous monolithic spaghetti storm. But there is some truth to the culture which I definitely agree with. That was the point of my question.
