See section 4.6 in the Python Tutorial - I strongly suggest you read it (or any other introductory text like diveintopython)

Can docstrings be embedded within the .pyd extension modules as well?

Yes - if the original module writer has provided it.

>>> x = AES.new(
As soon as I type the '(' character, the IDE displays:
new(key, [mode], [IV]): Return a new AES encryption object [...]
I'm guessing that what the IDE is displaying is the first line of what
may be multiple-line docstring that is embedded within the .pyd
extension module?  Might there be more lines in the docstring?

I don't know which IDE are you using, but try typing "help(AES.new)" or simply "help" (without quotes) in the interpreter.
