No, there is no such need.

I don't see where you associated any non-None docstring with the ctx.

The exception is more likely to be due to the METH_NOARGS flag in
your methods table -- should be METH_VARARGS and you should parse
the args tuple to get the 'self' reference to the class isntance.

You did not set a __module__ string attribute on the class object,
it seems to me.
