List to string? Docstrings?

Hello, people. Still learning Python. I wrote around 6000 Python lines
in the last 10 days! :-) I have two quick questions for you.
1) For converting a string into a list, I used:
chars = list(text)
For getting back the string from the list, I tried:
import operator
text = reduce(operator.concat, chars)
but still, I wonder if you would not have a better suggestion...
2) I still miss the purpose of __doc__ strings. It's true that I can write:
print module.__doc__
print function.__doc__
and sometimes get useful information from these. But what would I be
loosing, for my own things, if I was using mere `#' comments instead?
