It is much easier to find where to look if the documentation corpus has a proper index. Since indexing is hard work that's effectively impossible to automate, I suspect Python's documentation is no better than many other open-source software projects. I learned what little Python I know from Martelli's book, which is quite well indexed. Those last 80 pages are very well worn.
