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 LibraryReference" ? 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

    Yeah. You should install windows version. There is a chm form document.

    I don't know.

    See this nice tool for Firefox.

    It's like a chm form live updated. :)

    One other option. Go to google and use:

    site:docs.python.org inurl:lib

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

    ...

    I use Google:

    site:docs.python.org/lib foo bar

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

    The other suggestions look good, too.
