[Python-Dev] rst files

[Carol Willing]

Hello Ethan,

In addition to Guido's suggestion, the Python Developer Guide's Section 
7.4.9 should be helpful. Here's a link to Section 7 on Restructured Text 
https://docs.python.org/devguide/documenting.html#restructuredtext-primer
You may also find the Sphinx project documentation helpful if you need 
additional details.
