It describes only 7 functions, and yet you state there are 11. I'd suggest you add a 1-line summary of each function, something like: mean - calculate the (arithmetic) mean of the data median - calculate the median value of the data etc.

Thanks Paul, will do.

I think PEP 1 needs to be a bit clearer about this part of the process. For instance, if I had a module with 100 functions and methods, would I need to document all of them in the PEP? I expect not, but then I didn't expect I needed to document all 11 either :-)
