Oh, agreed - the quotes above are from the "Python's User Reference" I wrote 
several years back, but never got around to converting from ODF and 
subsequently updating and publishing in a more accessible way.

It was designed to fill the gap that exists in the documentation between the 
tutorial (which gives usage information, but doesn't really explain how things 
work) and the language reference (which is a fairly minimalist spec that 
doesn't explain design intent or rationale very much). The associated 
publishing deal fell through so I got the copyrights back and donated the whole 
thing to the PSF.

However, the first step in making it more useful is extracting the text from 
the ODF files into reStructuredText and that's never made it to the top of my 
to-do list.

The ideal situation from my point of view would be for someone on doc-sig to 
help with the conversion process, but I've never had any takers (although I'll 
grant that the last time I asked was a number of years ago).
