The answer to 80% of "where is it" questions re the Python docs is "Section 2 of the Library Reference". The other 15% include __special__ methods (they're almost all in the Language Reference), miscellaneous functions that aren't in the module you might expect, and questions about language semantics (which can sometimes be hard or impossible to answer by reading the docs, because, when they're documented at all, they're sometimes in some collection of PEPs, articles and mailing list posts). The last 5% are PEBKAC. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
