Hear, hear.

In addition, things should be structured so that it is easy to
discover (for a developer with source access and Python experience but
no prior experience with this particular piece of code) how it works.
It's OK if *some* key ideas must be explained in a large comment or
doc file, but those better be darn central to the whole thing, and
doubly darn easy to find.
