I knew you would say that :-).  I was making my comment out of real life 
experience: sysadmins rarely know python language, but can do good job 
administering python installations.  For better or worse, the target 
audience for PYTHONPATH documentation is likely not to be interested in 
being educated in the python programming language.  Having to lookup the 
meaning of os.pathsep just to understand the format of PYTHONPATH is a 
distraction. Another problem with the link is that cmdline page is 
likely to be printed out for a quick reference and the link will 
obviously not work in the printout.
