I'm not sure I would like to see the official Python documentation
"improved" too much. At least the library reference is top notch as it
stands, and some other areas (distutils/embedding) should be covered
in seperate volumes of documentation, e.g. some wiki-maintained
tutorials.

Documentation just isn't a problem for core Python. The same can't be
said for various UI toolkits or third party libs, but that's a
separate problem.
