About these documents
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
These documents are generated from `reStructuredText`_ sources by `Sphinx`_, a
|
|
document processor specifically written for the Python documentation.
|
|
|
|
.. _reStructuredText: http://docutils.sf.net/rst.html
|
|
.. _Sphinx: http://sphinx-doc.org/
|
|
|
|
.. 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 is an entirely volunteer
|
|
effort, just like Python itself. If you want to contribute, please take a
|
|
look at the :ref:`reporting-bugs` page for information on how to do so. New
|
|
volunteers are always welcome!
|
|
|
|
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.
