The python documentation (at least in its recent versions, f.e. from
2.6 onwards) it's generated from ReST files, that are later converted
to several output formats (HTML, PDF, TXT, and so on) by a wonderful
tool: sphinx.

So you can definetely use the ReST format: you can clone the CPython
mercurial repository and start playing with those files; you can refer
to:

* http://docs.python.org/devguide/#quick-start
* http://docs.python.org/devguide/docquality.html

for additional details, and in case of doubts, don't hesitate to ask
again on this list.

Regards,
