 Dear Xah Lee,

The Python community is very sorry because we have a very bad 
documentation. You are right. The documentation is bad, and the language 
is bad etc. The mailing list itself is not helpful and you cannot use it 
for anything. We will try to follow all of your glorious suggestions.  
But we have so many things to do, I'm affraid you need to wait until 
Python 5000 is released. Until that, I can recommend you the Visual 
Basic language. Its documentation is much more perfect. MSDN is really 
really well structured and easy to use! It is commercial, and - as you 
would expect - you will get immediate fixes after you make a kind 
suggestion like this. I think this is the best thing you can do.

For more information about this fabolous  ClosedSource commercial 
product, please visit this link:

Good Luck!

   Les
