Actually, that hits one of the few things I wish Python did have
closer to Perl - something like man pages and perldoc.  I know there
are other alternatives for Python, but there are definitely times that
I really miss being able to quickly look up reference information
without involving a GUI (whether Windows help or a browser).  But I'm
probably in the minority nowadays.
