I use the documentation in info format, which is basically plaintext
and easily searchable with text-based tools.  Select "GNU Info" from
<http://www.python.org/doc/current/download.html>.

I'm not trying to be an apologist for the lack of man pages, just
helping you find the plaintext documentation you (and I) prefer.
