Help text embedding in C code?

[James Stroud]

Hello All,

I have a python module I wrote in C some time ago and I have since 
forgotten how to use my functions and so I wanted to add some 
doc-strings such that "help(function_name)" would give some help in the 
interactive interpreter. In the cPython source, it seems like python 
wrapper functions provide this documentation in doc-strings. Is this the 
advisable way? It seems silly to have to write a python wrapper around a 
python extension just to have doc-strings available. Is it possible to 
embed this information in the C source directly or is that too much 
trouble and I should just start typing HTML.reStructuredText for this 
sort of thing?
