It is true about the nature of Python's standard library. But when dealing with a large set of methods, for example, the OS module, it is nice to have the javadoc API style documentation. You can see a quick summary of what is available, then if you want more detail you drill down on that particular method. Oh well. I'll get used to it :) Thanks!
