Style nit-picks: Since the primary function of triple quotes is to generate multi-line text blocks, I would prefer to see them used in docstrings only in the form
If you want a docstring to occupy only a single line, to save space, then I think you should use quotes as in the line above before your change. When I see triple quotes, I want to see the ending triple on a subsequent line; and starting a docstring with triple quotes followed by text on the same line looks ugly to me.

This is actually explicitly specified in https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/#one-line-docstrings. If we decide to explicitly not follow that recommendation it should probably go into the documentation guidelines...

Agreed. I think that PEP is giving bad advice with a silly rationale, but it's not critical. @tacaswell, do you want to follow the PEP for new code and whenever existing docstrings are edited?

Maybe it's just habit, but using always triple quotes feels more consistent. Docstrings look more alike. Even though the rationale in PEP-257 is of course nonsense, I would stick to the suggested conventions.
