[docs] docs Digest, Vol 62, Issue 70

[Mike Hoy]

For all us who are new to programming, it should be pointed out in the 
documentation that a double underscore is needed to get the docstring:
>>>>> function_name.__doc__ <--- double underscores

Yes that section of text does show an example of *function_name.__doc__* 
but what he is complaining about is that he needs to use two 
underscores. Not that he needs to see the *function_name.__doc* in an 
example. In any case I suppose it could be mentioned that it is a double 
underscore and not a single underscore but it seems so obvious to me 
that it is double that it's not worth documenting anywhere.
