Python Documentation (should be better?)

If what you miss mostly is a quick way to look up language features,
modules and APIs, the python quick reference is an excellent starting
point, especially for someone new to the language:
http://rgruet.free.fr/PQR24/PQR2.4.html (also linked from
http://www.python.org/doc/ along with other doc sources). It's
available in pdf as well.
