You just summarised *exactly* why a bunch of us want to include it in
the official documentation (by reference, anyway): so people can read
PyMOTW as an introduction, and use the official docs as a reference.

A See Also at the bottom of individual module pages, plus an "External
Resources" link on the front page of the docs (as you suggested) would
cover that nicely (especially with a pydotorg redirector in place to
guarantee link stability).

Cheers,
Nick.
