About these documents
*********************

These documents are generated from reStructuredText sources by
*Sphinx*, a document processor specifically written for the Python
documentation.

In the online version of these documents, you can submit comments and
suggest changes directly on the documentation pages.

Development of the documentation and its toolchain takes place on the
docs@python.org mailing list.  We're always looking for volunteers
wanting to help with the docs, so feel free to send a mail there!

Many thanks go to:

* Fred L. Drake, Jr., the creator of the original Python documentation
  toolset and writer of much of the content;

* the Docutils project for creating reStructuredText and the Docutils
  suite;

* Fredrik Lundh for his Alternative Python Reference project from
  which Sphinx got many good ideas.

See *Reporting Bugs in Python* for information how to report bugs in
Python itself.

that Python has such wonderful documentation -- Thank You!
