I would like to see links to relevant PEP / mailing list docs in the main docs.<br>
<br>
For example <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/dircache.html" target="_blank">http://docs.python.org/library/dircache.html</a> after<br>
"Deprecated since version 2.6" could include a (PEP x.x) link where I<br>
could read why it was deprecated and probably what to use in it's<br>
place.<br>
<br>
The docs right now are quite excellent describing the "what" about<br>
everything, but often have little to say about the "why". This is a<br>
good thing, but links would surely help those that want to learn more.<br>
