| 2 | About these documents |
| 3 | ===================== |
| 4 | |
| 5 | |
| 6 | These documents are generated from `reStructuredText |
| 7 | <http://docutils.sf.net/rst.html>`_ sources by *Sphinx*, a document processor |
| 8 | specifically written for the Python documentation. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | In the online version of these documents, you can submit comments and suggest |
| 11 | changes directly on the documentation pages. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Development of the documentation and its toolchain takes place on the |
| 14 | docs@python.org mailing list. We're always looking for volunteers wanting |
| 15 | to help with the docs, so feel free to send a mail there! |

| 17 | Many thanks go to: |

| 19 | * Fred L. Drake, Jr., the creator of the original Python documentation toolset |
| 20 | and writer of much of the content; |
