Technically comments are considered blank lines, so indentation can be arbitrary. This is against PEP8/linters, but it's not a formatting error. Triple quoted docstrings just require that the initial marker (""" or ''') is indented properly (since they are not considered blank lines). All contained text, and the closing marker, can be at any indentation level. This is the cleanest way to include a page of free form documentation, mid anywhere.
