As I struggle through trying to figure out how to make python do  
simple stuff for me, I frequently generate samples. If some volunteer  
here would point me towards the documentation that would tell me how I  
can alter the existing Python docs to include sample code, I'd be more  
than happy to do so.

I would like to "do it". Please point me to the docs that tell me how  
to "do it" so that we people with newbie questions and a need for  
examples can get out of your way and "do it" ourselves.

Thanks,
