New submission from Matteo Bertucci <matteobertucci2004 at gmail.com>:

Sphinx generates a quite useful inventory file, listing all the different symbols available inside the documentation. You can find the docs.python.org inventory over at https://docs.python.org/objects.inv. The syntax of this file can be found here https://sphobjinv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax.html.

We use it over at Python Discord to power up our `!docs` command. It allows us to look up symbols such as `asyncio.run`, have nicely formatted documentation and links to the web page. 

The problem is due to where the `list` method documentations are located, inside `/tutorial/datastructures` (https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html), no symbol is exported for those, making commands such as `!docs list.append` fail, which is quite a bummer. It would be very nice to have access to those.
