I'm pretty new to Python, and I like a lot overall, but I find the
documentation for Python rather poor, overall.
I'm sure that Python experts don't have this problem: they have
internalized some good ways to access the documentation, are
productive with it, and therefore have lost the ability to see why
the Python documentations is deficient for beginners.
That may be so, but I do remember when I was a beginner myself and I
had no issue with the documentation.
have you tried the new docs (>= 2.6) The interface has changed
drastically as to render itself completely useless. The old docs (<=
2.5) --the ones i learned from-- where flawless.
@ Mark Lawrence
Have you clicked any of those links? try the "Tutorial start here" and
then try to find a menu of sorts. It seems you have to click "next" to
navigate. Thats pretty counter intuitive if you need to get to page
589!! Upon clicking the tutorial link in the OLD DOCS, you where
presented with a nice menu for concise navigation.
Yes. Works perfectly as evidenced by the fact that this evening I've
checked data on the cProfile, pstats and array modules.

Hold the phone... You checked data on modules using the "Tutorial
Start Here" link? Would not the "Global Module Index" be more, shall
we say, "informative"?
You asked "Have you clicked any of those links?". I answered yes since
they all work. I usually navigate to module data via the index tab as I
find this the easiest way. I'm sure other people prefer the global
module index. Six of one, half a dozen of the other?
