Appears that documentation for python doesn't exist, or isn't installed. How does one get any information for python related commands without having to fire up a web browser and head to python.org? I've read about sphinx, RST, and such. But it all seems to be a big PITA that all needs to be re-run every time something new gets added. Is there any way to get pod, or man-like info from python? Or do I have to get a 2yr degree in python at some college? Sorry, I come from a Perl, and UNIX background. Where all the answers are just a (man||pod) page away. :-) Thank you in advance for any insight into all this. --Chris
