About these documents¶
These documents are generated fromreStructuredText sources bySphinx, adocument processor specifically written for the Python documentation.
Development of the documentation and its toolchain is an entirely volunteereffort, just like Python itself. If you want to contribute, please take alook at theDealing with Bugs page for information on how to do so. Newvolunteers are always welcome!
Many thanks go to:
Fred L. Drake, Jr., the creator of the original Python documentation toolsetand writer of much of the content;
theDocutils project for creatingreStructuredText and the Docutils suite;
Fredrik Lundh for hisAlternative Python Reference project from which Sphinx got many goodideas.
