+ <h2>About the Python Documentation</h2>
+
+ <p>The Python documentation was originally written by Guido van
+ Rossum, but has increasingly become a community effort over the
+ past several years. This growing collection of documents is
+ available in several formats, including typeset versions in PDF
+ and PostScript for printing, from the <a
+ href="http://www.python.org/">Python Web site</a>.
