Python docs are good enough, but not fantastic. There are hundreds of Python std lib features that don't have an example or have a not good enough example. The documentation of Delphi written by Borland was much better (generally Borland documentation was good). But Python is free (as in beer), so I don't complain (and people are welcome to improve Python docs).
