The docs you're refering to are in the standard Python documentation,
for example here:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/ext/ext.html

I agree that documentation can always be improved. Especially with
respect to extension programming. On the other hand, especially the docs
on the C API have improved lately. But I still need to go hunting for
examples in existing C modules most of the time.
