I learned python purely from an offline copy of the official docs, back in 2001 or so. It was obviously doable, since I did learn Python, but it wasn't particularly easy and I remember starting to really like Microsofts documentation (eg their VB docs). Python's docs have improved, but they're not amazing. Then again, neither are the docs for many other languages. For example, I'm a big fan of Clojure, but many of the docs there have me really appreciating Python's docs ;-) I think once you get used to Pythons docs, they're pretty easy to follow, although I agree that type information on arguments/return values would be great and I also largely work from examples unless I'm already familiar with a library and am just looking for reference material.
