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

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
...
(pydoc too, though I'm 99.9% sure they use the same underlying
facility Ping originally implemented.)
Hmm, but it doesn't work for functions:
>>> import sys
>>> help(sys.settracee)
Help on built-in function settrace in module sys:
settrace(...)
settrace(function)
Set the global debug tracing function. It will be called on each
function call. See the debugger chapter in the library manual.
Servus,
Walter
