Indeed, the information gained by the combination of stepping with the
debugger, and reading the actual sources is immeasurably greater than
reading the "official" docs. For example, I found the following in
Lib/distutils.install.py:
def finalize_options (self):
# This method (and its pliant slaves, like 'finalize_unix()',
# 'finalize_other()', and 'select_scheme()') is where the default
# installation directories for modules, extension modules, and
# anything else we care to install from a Python module
# distribution. Thus, this code makes a pretty important policy
# statement about how third-party stuff is added to a Python
# installation!
This is the good stuff.
