This line is incorrect:

A class which defines its own :meth:`__hash__` that explicitly raises a 
:exc:`TypeError` would be incorrectly identified as hashable by an 
``isinstance(obj, collections.Hashable)`` call.

It should be "would not be correctly identified as hashable".

Otherwise, looks great.
