[issue5364] documentation in epub format

[wrobell]

New submission from wrobell <wrobell at pld-linux.org>:

python documentation can be downloaded in pdf format (a4, us letter),
html and text plain. they are useful for printing and computer based
viewing, but not so good to read on ebook hardware/software
(i.e. sony prs-{505,700} or stanza ebook reader).

it would be nice if python documentation could be downloaded in epub
format, which is open format for ebooks

i believe that major publishers are providing ebooks in epub format
as well
