    Python Library Reference - question

    The "Python LIbrary Reference" at
    http://docs.python.org/lib/contents.html seems to be an important
    document. I have two questions

    Q1. How do you search inside "Python LibraryReferenc e" ? Does it exist
    in pdf or chm form?

    Q2. In some other languages (for instance PHP if I recall correctly)
    readers can add comments and give examples to the various headings in
    the reference manual. This gives valuable information to the reader. Is
    there such a version of "Python Library Reference", and if not would it
    be a good idea to have such a version.

    Thanks
    Bob Ueland

    I found the answer to Q1. One can download all Python docs in pdf from
    The official home of the Python Programming Language

                One other option. Go to google and use:

                site:docs.pytho n.org inurl:lib

                That should work, though I haven't tested it thoroughly.

                    I use Google:

                    site:docs.pytho n.org/lib foo bar

                    Note that Google is pretty flexible about what is a "site".
                    "docs.python.or g/lib", "docs.python.or g", and "python.org " are all
                    "sites", so you can zoom in and out as needed.

                    The other suggestions look good, too.
