My advice is to get used to it... the Python docs are not arranged in
the hierarchical fashion because there isn't any real hierarchy to
speak of. Python does not rely heavily on inheritance like Java does.
Instead, it is used in just a few places, more like the C++ standard
library than the Java library.

I agree that the Python docs aren't quite as effective as reference
material due to the lack of simple function and method lists though. I
don't know if there's a solution to that anywhere.
