This nifty collection includes 
The Tutorial,
The Library Reference,
The Language Reference,
The Macintosh Reference,
The Extending And Embedding Tutorial,
The Python/C API Reference, and
The Documentation Reference.

Start with the tutorial; look up specific items in the Language Ref.
if you need to; and read the documentation of the standard modules
that you think you will use in the Library Ref.

Hmmm.  I think it may be time to reconsider the
distribution/documentation split.
