Well, for those with Windows machines, the documentation is a simple 
Start->All Programs->Python->Python Manuals. I'm somewhat amused that 
the Docs don't come standard with other platforms. I guess they figure 
if you're compiling from source, you'd download them to the local 
machine separately.

That said, I have no clue if PHP provides a local copy of the docs. It 
seems doubtful, given how people have trumpeted the user-supplied 
comments aspect of the PHP docs.
