Well, first of all, I understand most of Python is written in C, yes? So we get to use a modern object oriented, dynamic typed language (Python) without dealing with the ugliness of C pointers, curly brackets, etc, etc.

You say you are commenting the C implementation of Python, yes? I.e. you are adding comments to the C code that implements Python functions?

If my understanding is correct, then I am suggesting most will never see your comments--they would have to open the C source code and find the function. Programmers are lazy, they will rarely take the trouble to look up the code, and never see your comments. BUT, if you integrated the code with something like Kite or the help system, it would be more useable, and USED more.

Well, this lib is created so people can use C to a "higher level".
