"Library reference"
<http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html>

Strings are a built-in sequence type, so: "2.3.6 Sequence Types"
<http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq.html>

At the bottom is a link to "2.3.6.1 String Methods"
<http://docs.python.org/lib/string-methods.html>


The only "problem" I see is to remember strings are sequences, which is not 
something everybody new to Python will think about immediately.

Maybe it would help if the "contents" on the front page would show 4 levels 
of headers instead of 3 levels now?
