Found by going to: https://docs.python.org/3/ https://docs.python.org/3/genindex.html https://docs.python.org/3/genindex-R.html and finding the links to "read". Personally, I fetch the Python docs every so often from: https://docs.python.org/3/download.html I fetch the "HTML" version, unpack it on my machine, and put a link to the "index.html" file on my Desktop. Instant, offline-ready, Python docs on my machine. Really snappy, because my browser's pulling from the local filesystem.
