The annoying part about Python is that searching for the python docs is hard.
E.g. "Python rstrip" (without quotes) in DuckDuckGo does not lead me to the Python docs on page 1.
- deaddodo 1y agoI've never had that issue with Python. Now, languages with common / short names? All the time. Go, C, C++, D, etc; even Rust (especially since all the libraries have similarly ambiguous names related to iron oxide).

- tremon 1y agoIn DuckDuckGo you should be using !py rstrip, that's what the bangs are for. But yes, in general most of the good (third-party) python resources have been killed by SEO spam.
