Whoops, sorry.  I didn't notice your link was equivalent to (better 
than) mine.  I had worked it out before your message showed up, then 
abandoned all of my message except for the link.

BTW, can you tell me how you get the #the-namespace-object part of your 
link?  Is there some technique (without actually looking in the source 
code for the page) for finding the nearest id= ?  I've now figured out 
how to do it for pages like this one with a TOC, but is there a more 
general way?

For others like me:
If there's a TOC (table of contents) for a page, you can right-click on 
the link to the particular section of the page, and COPY it to the 
clipboard.  It'll then have the form like:
   http://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#the-namespace-object

where the last field specifies the particular section of the page desired.
