Ah. I'm not the only one who thinks like this. Good good.  The only
thing I've seen of this kind in the US PyCon was a "cheat mug" from
Sauce Labs.

Cool. One thing that I frequently have to refer back to manual pages for
are the various format specifiers. Some of them that come to mind are.
 - Logging formatter keys.
 - String formatting specifiers (especially the .format thing with the
   new strings).        
 - struct/array module type specifiers.

Apart from that, we could have idioms like "Reverse a string with
x[::-1]" etc.
