That has several issues. One is that you can't do string operations with it. Say you wanted some %d, %s etc in the string. If you use a documentation generator (eg epydoc) then the code becomes the API documentation for the function. Finally it bloats binary distributions. For example BitPim is 7-10MB binary distribution, full compressed with all doc strings removed. Including doc strings adds another 3MB to the compressed binary size! Instead I would suggest looking at the compile/eval/exec builtins in Python for inspiration. You can give a string to compile and it gives you something you can execute later in varying contexts.
