I'm not talking about 3rd party libraries, I'm talking about 3rd party
documentation for modules that are already in the Python standard
library.  For example, if someone wrote a good Tkinter manual that
were licensed in a way that the PSF could drop it into the Python
distro, then PSF should certainly consider including it.  The same
goes for good docs about urllib2, or various other modules that
currently have lousy docs.

Sorry, I meant:

  http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/ (html)
  http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter.pdf   (pdf of same)

You've probably seen this manual already.
