Actually, you frequently don't even have to enter the Python interpreter. Executing "pydoc -p 8080" will start up a web server at http://localhost:8080/ that will allow you to browse the builtin docs (module/package/class/function docstrings). Since 2.4, the doc display for most core modules and packages should also contain a link to the standard doc. Skip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
