Docstrings
Does the ohloh comment calculator also count Python Docstrings as comments? If not that would be stupid since many python projects use docstrings for their code documenation :D
I just wonder why pocoo has a so low comment ratio :-?

Hi mistuhiko,
No, upon reviewing our Python parser it looks like we do not handle Docstrings. We treat them as simple string constants, which means that we count them as code.
You're correct: an application which uses Docstrings is going to look very low on comments according to Ohloh.
At some point we will revisit our language parsers to add some new languages and features, and we can take a look at adding Docstrings at that point.
Thanks for pointing this out,
Robin
