It would be great if the docstring contained a link to the online
documentation.

That would have to be a feature of help(), not hardcoded in each docstring.

That *is* a feature of the help function:

Help on built-in module sys:

help(sys)
NAME
     sys

FILE
     (built-in)

MODULE DOCS
     http://docs.python.org/library/sys

On 3.3.2 and 3.4.0:

Help on built-in module sys:

NAME
    sys

MODULE REFERENCE
    http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/sys
...
FILE
      (built-in)

On Windows, one will not see the top of the help(sys) output unless one either uses Idle or increases the number of lines in the console window from 300.
