I don't think someone "not able to readily access the source" from a link at the *bottom* of a doc page would be able to understand (or even be motivated to understand) the stdlib's source code. While I understand the motivation to encourage reading of the source code, this should not disrupt the sequential reading of documentation pages, or make it seem more important than the API docs themselves. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10858> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
