If you mean the built-in docs i *highly agree* with you. if you mean docs/tutorials available across the WWW i *highly disagree* with you, and if you mean the command line "help" i also *highly disagree*, of which python has the-best-in the-world! I am using 2.6.2 and the help docs are a joke. trying to find even the simplest thing (built-in functions, etc...) is like pulling teeth. I do not look at them anymore, or do i plan to in the future. Luckily i know python pretty well, but i can't image the horrors a new Python Programmer must face now... Kj, you could not be more right. Doc maintainers need to get some feedback from Python noobies when writing this stuff. Does anybody remember CP4E? I know Guido put a lot of effort into this project and very much believed in this philosophy(circa 1999~2005), although it never really went very far, i still believe in Guido's heart the CP4E exists -- if only barley clinging to life(...maybe?) any thoughts on this Pythonistas? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
