     6 These documents are generated from `reStructuredText

     7 <http://docutils.sf.net/rst.html>`_ sources by *Sphinx*, a document processor

     8 specifically written for the Python documentation.

     9 

    10 In the online version of these documents, you can submit comments and suggest

    11 changes directly on the documentation pages.

    12 

    13 Development of the documentation and its toolchain takes place on the

    14 docs@python.org mailing list.  We're always looking for volunteers wanting

    15 to help with the docs, so feel free to send a mail there!

    17 Many thanks go to:

    18 

    19 * Fred L. Drake, Jr., the creator of the original Python documentation toolset

    20   and writer of much of the content;

    21 * the `Docutils <http://docutils.sf.net/>`_ project for creating

    22   reStructuredText and the Docutils suite;

    23 * Fredrik Lundh for his `Alternative Python Reference

    24   <http://effbot.org/zone/pyref.htm>`_ project from which Sphinx got many good

    25   ideas.
