I agree with this too, but if you're a programmer on the Windows platform with possibility to install software on the machine you work with, I strongly suggest that you install cygwin or something equivalent. Not just for "man python". Tools like grep and find are vastly superior to anything I've seen natively on windows if you want to process the data you find in some automated way. In my experience, Windows 2000 and later are fairly decent operating systems if you have Python and cygwin installed, but I'd feel awfully handicapped without those tools. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
