It might be of a stretch for every reader to see /*/* in the python comment and know that it means **, plus codeclimate isn't happy about "/*" not being a valid escape sequence. Alternative solutions:

• use backticks "``" to put the operators in code formatting, but this is inconsistent with the rest of the documentation.
• remove the list of mathematical operators from the comment, as per whitespace_013and whitespace_100, which do not list the logical and relational operators.

I think I may end up dropping code climate. Due to the similarities in the code I get a lot of duplicate code warnings so I end up ignoring the code climate report. I suppose I could turn those off though....
