Yes, I agree that a lot of python programmers think differently. 
Even though, I sense a general consensus, especially among beginning 
Pythoneers, that the community lacks a great tool, like the one PHP has.
Of course I am not just thinking about the documentation itself, which you 
could get with pydoc/help(), but also experience, pointers, pitfalls that 
other people ran in to. That's what makes it a community ;)

Anyway, I am pretty sure we're going to fill a much needed niche, and if 
not, we're certainly going to meet our own needs ;)
