At the risk of feeding the troll here... point defeated. I learned Python before I learned Perl, but consider myself to now be fluent in both. And I find the docs for both to be immensely useful and fairly well-organized (OK, so sometimes I have to hunt a bit longer than I'd like in the Perl docs, but perldoc.perl.org looks promising). And in my early stages of Python from C++, and Perl from Python, shell, and C, I really didn't have any trouble figuring out what was going on. So, Guido, Fred Drake, and everyone else involved in writing Python docs: done well you have. Keep up the good work. Python IMHO has some of the best docs in the open-source world (on a par with Vim). - Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
