@nanjekyejoannah I'm not seeing how that issue is related to this one (except 
that they're both about docstrings). Can you elaborate?

Unhelpful indeed. +1 to updating those docstrings to match the details at 
docs.python.org.

[Sergey Fedoseev]

New submission from Sergey Fedoseev :

In [8]: help(sys.float_info)

This is not very helpful, 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.float_info is more verbose, so 
probably docstrings should be updated from where.
