This line, to be at all meaningful, must be the first line in the
file, with no leading spaces.

Somewhat more useful than a comment block to describe your module is a
"doc string" for the module:

You will also thank yourself for writing descriptive doc strings for
each function and class (preferably as soon as you begin writing the
definition, so you don't need to remember to come back later and do
them).
