I don't necessarily agree with the rest, but I think this is very important - 
at least, in the 
current situation. Maybe in the future we will be able to rearrange and move 
some parts 
of the tutorial into the "how to" section, and/or to write more introductions 
to the various 
sections of the documentation... but for now, the tutorial is all we have.

Indeed. The PEPs are the worst, more often than not. I remember when I first 
learned Pyhton, 
every time the documentation linked to a PEP, I felt a shiver down my spine.
