About these documents

=====================

These documents are generated from `reStructuredText

<http://docutils.sf.net/rst.html>`_ 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 <http://docutils.sf.net/>`_ project for creating

  reStructuredText and the Docutils suite;

* Fredrik Lundh for his `Alternative Python Reference

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

  ideas.

See :ref:`reporting-bugs` for information how to report bugs in Python itself.

It is only with the input and contributions of the Python community

that Python has such wonderful documentation -- Thank You!
