I really like python, I use it all the time now and I don't start any new stuff in Ruby. But it was a struggle to get over the hump. I pretty much never use the Python docs, for the author's example, I would just google 'python array length stackoverflow'. I would only look at the official docs if something piqued my interest and I wanted to know more. Whereas with Ruby I go straight to chapter 4 of the pickaxe book and it answers the question 99 times out of 100. Also because its a PDF it works reliably on the train! I would dearly love to find a similarly written reference for python.
- talideon 10y agoI'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but Sphinx, which is used for generating the Python docs, is capable of producing docs in a number of formats, including ePub and PDF, and offline versions of the docs have been available for download in those formats ever since the changeover to Sphinx: https://docs.python.org/3/download.html https://docs.python.org/3/download.html
