You can use the Mac port of gzip (MacGzip) and suntar to deal with the .tgz
file.  The docs may contain filenames longer than 31 characters.  suntar
won't be able to extract these files properly.  The last time I unpacked
the docs, only a few files were affected by this limitation.

The python docs probably consist of files containing Unix end-of-line
characters.  Does Unix = weird?  Your Mac browser can handle PC/Mac/UNIX
end-of-line characters.

P.S.

You can get MacGzip from
