For a refreshing change of pace I would like to agree with Guidio. It seems
to me that Jason you come to the table with too many expectations (maybe
from your Rebol experience) of how a help system "should" work, rather than
spending the energy focusing on learning how the Python help system does
work.. And I would agree with Guido, once that (minor) effort is
made, all your expectations and more, from that point on, look like they
will be met.
And I would generalize that further. Have more confidence in Python. But
fewer expectations coming in.
