These documents are generated from reStructuredText sources by Sphinx, a document processor specifically written for the Python documentation.
Development of the documentation and its toolchain takes place on the [email protected] 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 project for creating reStructuredText and the Docutils suite;
- Fredrik Lundh for his Alternative Python Reference project from which Sphinx got many good ideas.
See :ref:`reporting-bugs` for information how to report bugs in this documentation, or Python itself.
Many people have contributed to the Python language, the Python standard library, and the Python documentation. See :source:`Misc/ACKS` in the Python source distribution for a partial list of contributors.
It is only with the input and contributions of the Python community that Python has such wonderful documentation -- Thank You!
