True, but usually built-in is quicker, although I wish I could get rid
of all the __garbola__ and get right to the methods ;')  As for
downloadable help, I have a chm file, and the Search is terrible. It
will turn up Everything that has any text with the world 'zip' in it,
including Zippy the Clown ;')  Using Index is a bit better but still
finds garbage you must sift through. So builtin help would be
preferable if it were just a bit less concise and had some examples.
It's only an opinion. The gods of Python may do otherwise as they
choose.
