One week ago, "JoePie91" wrote a blog post challenging the Python community and the state of Python documentation, titled:
"The Python documentation is bad, and you should feel bad". http://joepie91.wordpress.com/2013/02/19/the-python-documentation-is-bad- and-you-should-feel-bad/ It is valuable to contrast and compare the PHP and Python docs: http://php.net/manual/en/index.php http://www.python.org/doc/ There's no doubt that one of PHP's strengths, perhaps its biggest strength, is the good state of documentation. But should we feel bad about Python's docs? I don't think that either the Python documentation or community is as bad as JoePie91 suggests. (Well, I won't speak for the people on Freenode's #python. It took me approximately three minutes to be banned from there, with no warning or explanation.)
