| About these documents |
| ===================== |
| |
| |
| These documents are generated from `reStructuredText`_ sources by `Sphinx`_, a |
| document processor specifically written for the Python documentation. |
| |
| .. _reStructuredText: http://docutils.sf.net/rst.html |
| .. _Sphinx: http://sphinx.pocoo.org/ |
| |
| .. In the online version of these documents, you can submit comments and suggest |
| changes directly on the documentation pages. |
| |
| Development of the documentation and its toolchain takes place on the |
| docs@python.org mailing list. We're always looking for volunteers wanting |
| to help with the docs, so feel free to send a mail there! |
| |
| Many thanks go to: |
| |
| * Fred L. Drake, Jr., the creator of the original Python documentation toolset |
| and writer of much of the content; |
| * the `Docutils <http://docutils.sf.net/>`_ project for creating |
| reStructuredText and the Docutils suite; |
| * Fredrik Lundh for his `Alternative Python Reference |
| <http://effbot.org/zone/pyref.htm>`_ project from which Sphinx got many good |
| ideas. |
