My gut feeling (which could of course be wrong) is that many hard core
Pythonistas are cheesed off with newbies who refuse to help themselves.
The funny thing is that their response is to shutdown changes that are
intended
to *help* newbies help themselves. It seems self-defeating to me.
And I still do not believe this to be true. Documents are being changed
all the time. See the python-dev mailing list "Summary of python
tracker issues" dated 17/24/31 July and 07/14 August 2009. The only
request I recall being rejected is someone objecting to the use of
"weapons" in a piece of sample code.
Also see Issue6660 on the bug tracker, it is of particular interest to
anyone who's interested in plans for python.org documentation links.
