I'm happy to follow any house style guide you want. Can you point me to where it's documented so I can get it right? I'm not sure what you mean when you say 'Google style docstrings' because the Google style guide I'm familiar with (http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.html?showone=Comments#Comments) doesn't specify (type) at the end of a description.

The guide I know isn't explicit about how docstring arg types are documented, but maybe another one is? FWIW when I worked with one of the authors we did

```
Args:
  name: type. Desc.
```

which is why I formatted the last commit that way.

I'll remove the module-level constant docs throughout in the next commit I push.
