Where are list methods documented?

Does nobody use an index anymore?  If you type "strip" into the index of the
Windows HTML help, the first entry is "strip (string method)", which is
probably what you want.  Or you can use the pyhelp.cgi script linked from
<http://python.org/doc> and search for "strip" and "strip (string method)"
is the second entry (the first, which is strip in the string module, would
tell you more-or-less the same, anyway).

rrent>

Or you can go to the general index in the regular version of the HTML help.
As you might expect, "strip" can be found under "s".

<http://docs.python.org/lib/genindex.html#letter-s>

I presume that there's some sort of index in the PDF and all the other
versions of the help, too.
