No, the docstring is the first string after a function or class
definition, that is displayed interactively by "help name", and used
for documentation of the function or class.
http://docs.python.org/reference/com...on-definitions
Footnotes [3] & [4]
The proper name for three-quoted strings is triple-quoted string:
http://docs.python.org/reference/lex...lysis.html#id7
Often docstrings are expressed as three-quoted strings, because they
want to exceed a single line.

thanks for the clarification,
English is not my first language, nor is Python ;-)
I already updated the webpage.

Hello All,
I am creating a visual programming environment for python (similar to
Matlab's simulink, but for python). For several reasons I have
decided not to go with OGL. I am writing a wxOGL replacement library
for wxPython.
My first thought was to create an exact drop in replacement for OGL,
but the more I look at the OGL api the more I hesitate to do it.

"wxPython is the best and most mature cross-platform GUI toolkit,

Guess, that answers my question, but isn't "Tkinter was there first" a
very bad answer? :) It is kinda ugly too, so I wonder why it can't be
replaced? Or maybe another GUI...

gui_support is library for easy creation of GUI designs in wxPython.
Although it's quit stable, it's part of a larger project and therefor
has a lot of dependencies, but these can easily be removed.
Warning:
Although this library might be very attractive to newbies,
the use of this library will prevent you from learning some of the
basics of GUI,

Your page says that the layout is defined in a docstring, but in the

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
