This is one of my perpetual complaints about Python. It does have a reference manual and library manual, but these manuals are full of gaps, and in practice one does go by the implementation. CLTL2 is a model of precision and thoroughness compared with any document that's ever been written about Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
