The examples written for the random module warrants the same question. First and foremost, the docstrings are there to illustrate to users how to use the code; second, to serve as tests. Example codes should run, but I'm not sure whether they should always be valid doctests. In the `bmat` example, I would remove the '>>>' like you suggested.
