Thanks Dane for your link. The "docs" or "apydocs" were not included in my download !

But I was able to download trunk-r697.zip, including "epydocs". But really, this is not worth the name "documentation", I think.
Some examples:
- Why are functions like CreateLayer denominated as variables on \docs\epydocs\private\mapnik._mapnik-module.html?
How can I find any information on what parameters these methods expect? - How can I find out what the third parameter in m = Map(600,600,"+proj=latlong +ellps=WGS84") should contain?
I cannot find any constructor on \docs\epydocs\private\mapnik._mapnik.Map-class.html that seems to match this syntax. - How to create a PointSymbolizer? \docs\epydocs\private\mapnik._mapnik.PointSymbolizer-class.html is not gonna help me with this.
- Nowhere I find anything in epydocs about the Shapefile function, although it is used in the demo.
The same for the PostGIS method, that I am using now, just by guessing there should be some functions like that.
And I just noticed that the last file content update, goes back to Wed Mar 22 21:43:29 2006 !
This lack of documentation / references is really sad !
