The documentation for Python 1.5.2 is now available. The online version is available at: http://www.python.org/doc/ Archives of the documentation in HTML, LaTeX, PDF, and PostScript formats are available at the same location, and may also be downloaded via FTP from: ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/doc/ If you have any questions or comments on the documentation, please send email to: python-docs@python.org Many modules have been documented (166 total!), including both new and old modules. There have been some additional refinements of the "look" of the online version, especially for those of you with CSS enabled in your Web browsers. There is also more extensive hyperlinking within the Python Library Reference for your convenience. A new document, "Documenting Python", is now included. Though still young, this is a useful reference for documentation contributors. It includes a great deal of information on the markup used for the Python documentation, as well as a discussion of where we'll go from here. Windows users: If you installed Python using the installer rather than by building from source, you can get the updated documentation by downloading the HTML archive and unpacking it into the "Doc" directory of your installation. Some re-organization of the documentation area on the Web site should make it easier to locate and download documentation. Thanks go out to all the individuals who have contributed sections or sent in comments and bug reports; this release of the documentation is substantially better thanks to the efforts of the Python community!
