The documentation is pretty decent. You could add something like "trust us it works"... ?
But anyway, I don't trust anything my computer does, and habitually reach for the print statement so I can check that things are not going off-the-rails. As they do often. I'm mightily impressed by the coverage of sklearn, and understand a bit the tradeoffs that one must make to get all this functionality. Having said that, I have often wanted to "verbosify" the internals, so I can see how the learning procedures are going. I already hacked apart the Boosting code (quite easy) and now I ended up instrumenting the tree code (a bit harder) to find out what was happening. BTW, the code documents itself pretty well, so I wouldn't bother trying to document the internals. Simon.
