Indeed. With very rare exception, the only documentation tools I need are
the builtin help() function and the global module index:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/modindex.html
Fred Drake and his minions do a wonderful job keeping the documentation
within spitting distance of the source code.
I don't use any of those fancy-schmancy IDEs, though I do use python-mode,
which has F1 bound to call help() on the dotted attribute expression under
the cursor.
