You're not the only one with a hard time finding the list documentation. It's even crazier for string docs.
If you want to see how to strip strings in Python you have to go to the library docs, then click "sequence types" (betcha don't think of strings as sequences), then scroll to the bottom, then click "String Methods", then scroll to find "strip()". This makes perfect sense if you understand that strings are "mutable sequences". But if you're coming from (say) Perl and are looking for the quick way to work with strings, it's pretty deeply buried. A simple internal link or two would help a lot. Say, something in "built-in functions" which says "see also..." -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
