I'm not sure where you think the "in" operator should be documented.
It's in the documentation for sequence types:
http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#sequence-types-str-unicode-list-tuple-buffer-xrange

The tutorial points there too, in its discussion of strings.

It's also in the language reference, in the section on comparision operators:
http://docs.python.org/reference/expressions.html#id12

Was there someplace you were looking that you expected to find
something about the containment operator and couldn't find it?  Maybe
it would be worth adding a "See Also" someplace?
