Most *nix distributions provide an optional doc package for each of the Python versions they support, for instance, in Debian: $ aptitude search 'python[23].*-doc$' p python2.6-doc p python2.7-doc p python3-doc p python3.1-doc p python3.2-doc Also each python.org Mac OS X installers includes a copy of the documentation for its version, in HTML format the same as the on-line versions. The docs are easily accessible through a menu item in each version of IDLE. And recent versions of the installer also include a clickable link to the docs in each /Applications/Python x.y folder. One advantage of the on-line versions is that they are updated daily with the latest fixes to the documentation. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
