Re: Python Documentation (should be better?)

Hi All--
The Python docs are not ideal. I can never remember, for instance,
where to find string methods (not methods in the string module, but
methods with ''), but I can remember a tortured path to get me there
(yes, I know, fix my brain; easier said than done). The module index is
good, if what you're looking for is in a module. The tutorial is good.

I can usually end up where I want to be by picking up my copy of _Python
in a Nutshell_. 95% of the time I can find what I want in there or from
there. The other 5% is too new, in the _Python Cookbook_ or in a
third-party module/lib. Or it's what I'm trying to write;-)

Metta,
Ivan
