[Pythonmac-SIG] where does the documentation go?

I'm using MacPython 2.3 on OS X and have the documentation installed via 
the package manager. However, I'd like to link to it from my normal web 
browser and I've had no luck tracking down the html files. They don't 
appear to be in the framework itself, nor in /Library/Documentation nor 
in ~/Library/Documentation nor...we'll, I've looked a lot of places but 
obviously not the right one!

Note that tcl/tk README makes the interesting statement that the 
"standard" place for help is in
<framework root>/Resources/<language>.lproj/Documentation

The actual quote is:
- The Tcl and Tk frameworks contain documentation in html format in the
standard location for frameworks:
    Tcl.framework/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/Reference/Tcl
    Tk.framework/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/Reference/Tk

Do you suppose this really is the standard location? If so, is it worth 
putting Python's html documentation there?

P.S. in case anyone is using Tkinter, the binary installer for Tcl/Tk 
8.4.4 was just released. No notable aqua bug fixes, but oh well...
