Summary: Easy tutorial printing should be possible

Initial Comment:
I wanted to print the Python Tutorial by Guido for a 
colleague who might be interested in Python.  But this 
was not easy since it is distributed over a 18 different 
html files!  So now he has something looking bad 
because page numbers restart at every section.  I didn't 
have the time to think of a better solution: I wanted to 
give a printed tutorial fast.

So the request is this:  make the tutorial available in 
ONE html file so anybody can print it nicely with correct 
pagenumbers etc. from their browser.  This could also 
be interesting for the other documentation?

Jack Jansen mentions availability of PDF files, but I did not 
find those on the Python web site when I was (in a hurry) 
looking for the tutorial.  Also he mentions "Letter" or "A4" 
variations, but this is one of the reasons I think one HTML file 
would be best for each document: the users' browser can 
print that to postscript or send it directly to a printer with all 
the users' favorite options.

The tutorial is also available in PDF, but at the moment only if you download an archive containing the full documentation set (on the doc/current/download.html page).

Maybe it is a good idea to make the PDFs available separately too? The letter variation is probably best, non-americans are more used to letter than americans to A4, I guess...
