Thank you. I shall try that the next time I see something in the documentation for beginners. Generally the Python docs are quite good, in my opinion. I was merely taking issue with the poster who suggested that Python novices and nonprogrammers should complain less and contribute more. It's not immediately apparent how to contribute. And if you go looking via the main page you end up in a LaTex tutorial.
