    A more navigable Python Library Reference page

    Although a fan of Python, I find the Python Library Reference page
    (lib.html) very inconvenient because of its book contents-like layout.
    Also, some things that seem to me to belong together, such as string
    methods and string services are dispersed. Another annoyance is that
    it is
    so verbose: this is good for Python newbies, but frustrating once you
    know
    what you want to find.

    So I now use a tiny Python script to read lib.html and produce a new
    HTML
    file, with a few manual tweaks to get something that addresses the
    issues
    I've mentioned.

    Google doesn't seem to let you add attachments so I've put a sample of
    the output here:

    at the bottom of the page there is a link to the ~100 line libindex.py
    script that generated it.
