I exclusively use the 'info' version of the python manuals for exactly the
reason that it is fully searchable and very fast to navigate (*much* faster
than the hideous interface a webbrowser offers for the same
purpose). Unfortunately, there is no info version of the 2.2.1 docs, but one
for 2.2 can be found here:
