Last I checked, the documentation came in a seperate RPM apckage, And it was
just the TeX files, not HTML. And it was just the Library Reference in
/usr/doc/python-docs-1.5.2/Doc/, not Doc/lib as one would expect. Oh, there
seems to be the Language Reference as well, in
/usr/doc/python-docs-1.5.2/Doc/ref/, but those are in FrameMaker format
(ref*.doc files. Never heard of FrameMaker myself.)

In short, ferget it ;)
