Normally "in the literature" LOC is defined as "non-comment, non-blank
code line deltas, with a few exceptions".

The exceptions normally refer to not counting braces in C-style
languages and other syntactic sugar elements.  Of course in Python we
don't really have these issues to content with :)

I'd normally include comments and docstrings too, since we review these as well.
