I do recommend that the python/*.py files include comments when this is the case. For example:

class vizbang:

    # deprecated: please use vizbang.addAction(vizact.spinto()) instead
    def spinto:
        pass

While I agree that 95% of the users will stick to the help files, the openness of the python code is what attracted me and my colleagues to pick Vizard. It allows for working around the rare broken or not-quite-complete-enough help files, along with all the other benefits of the python platform.
