That doesn't actually make a docstring, though. It makes a string object and
points the name ds at it. Do you know what a docstring is?

def foo():
    """I am a docstring"""
    pass

def bar():
    ds = "I am not a docstring!"

def baz():
    "I am a docstring too!"
    pass

def qux():
    'And even me! Quote type don't matter (besides style)'
     pass
