Hmm, the language reference is targeted at people *implementing* Python,
This is the first time I have read that. It is definitely aimed at users
who have already ready the tutorial and need the information that is not
in the tutorial.
not people who are learning to use it (though it is valuable for them
also). It would be rather overwhelming for a beginner, IMO.
You should instead be directing newcomers to beginner documentation,
such as <URL:https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide> and especially
the Python tutorial <URL:http://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/>.
