I dunno, but google manages to do it pretty well. Like for your example, I might search for "python delete file" since I don't remember unlink. Ignoring the stackoverflow results, the first doc result is the right one, but I'll have a hell of a time finding it on that page. Looking at the next result tutorialspoint, the page itself is exactly what I was looking for. Tutorialspoint is quite excellent in this regard and I've started going there first.
- IgorPartola 12y agoThat's a good example. I'd argue that it's very quick to find what you are looking for here. The first result is a Stack Overflow page where the first question links directly to what you are looking for. I definitely can agree that the docs can be better, but at the same time I cannot honestly call them bad. Bad docs are docs that either lie or docs that are not there, and possibly docs that are so ugly they hurt your eyes. Python's docs are anything but.
