We still need author data in the following modules:
weights/spatial_lag.py
core/FileIO.py
Implementation is not consistent. In some cases, it's __authors__ = ... and in
others, Author(s):

Django uses a single AUTHORS file a the root of the project. Is this something
we've considered?

I have poked around the internet and found no single convention for how to
identify authors of a Python module.
I am going to go with my interpretation of a nine year old Guido quote and
implement the following:
__author__ = "John Q. Public <jpublic@gmail.com>"
or
__author__ = "John Q. Public <jpublic@gmail.com>, Jane Doe <jdoe@gmail.com>"
See below if you want the justification...
This thread has a lengthy discussion on the matter. But no resolution.

A couple of comments from Guido on the matter from 2001...
-Here he says it's okay to use __version__. He also talks about listing
authors.
--http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
-Here is a list serve posting from Guido.
--He is initially luke warm on the idea of __something__ variables.

--He then warms up to the idea (slightly) after getting more info:

I have checked the three modules I have (co)authored for author documentation
format.
/weights/Wsets.py
/region/randomregion.py
/region/maxp.py
Passing to Andrew.

I've helped mostly on documentation external to the docstrings, so no real code
contributions may be attributed to myself.
'df' already filled in (comment 8 above), handing it next to Xinyue (xy).
