IMHO the links could be a bit more visible.
When looking at the 'Where do I begin' paragraph, it took me quite
some time to notice that there *were* actually links in there (after
being taken there by clicking on the 'Where do I begin' link in the
left hand column already several times)

On my monitors the blue links look "fuzzy".
Table of contents blue on blue is hard for me to read.
While I'm not crazy about the pink background, that is probably a
personal preference.

Thanks, Larry and Ton. FWIW, my visual design skills are pretty
much nil. The best I can hope for is "clean and workmanlike". I
inherited most of the Sphinx default styles (including
that red-on-pink for the warning) and adjusted a few, not least
to make a clear distinction from the official Python docs.
For now, I've modifed the styles to something a little more bland,
using the conventional blue for links and a mild grey for the sidebar.
I've left the red-on-pink, partly because it only appears for warnings
and if it jars a bit, well that's probably not a bad thing in the circs.
While I do want the appearance to be both attractive and readable,
I'm trying to avoid spending too much time poking at RGB codes in
the hope of achieving Visual Nirvana :)
The front page is in one way the most important page and I'm not
at all sure I've got it right yet. (Suggestions will be appreciated). But
for now, my focus is getting content in, without which the front page
is so much vapourware.
Thanks v. much for the input. Keep it coming.

Tim,
I was looking at the front page and thought it might be nice to have a
section devoted to Networking / Remote Access. Or maybe that's rolled
into one of the other categories and I missed it.
In the "building and deploying" section, I see you have MinGW. I have a
generic tutorial on how to compile extensions using that compiler that
you're welcome to use and/or re-work for your site. You can find it
here: http://pythonlibrary.org/mingw.htm If you need help, let me know.
I have a similar one for VS2003, but it's much rougher
(http://pythonlibrary.org/visual_studio.htm).
Also, there's a cool wrapper for py2exe called GUI2exe that makes using
it much easier (at least for me):
