The Python docs are, on the contrary, quite good when compared to the GNU man pages. There is an advantage of the context: the GNU *nix tools have to reflect how the things grew, totally independently, accidentaly and ad-hoc. Python is much narrower topic and the development mostly had some concept of the "overall goal."

The Python docs opened the door to programming as a career for me in my late 20s. I/O, concurrency, polymorphism, it's all there. Thanks Python.
I'm happy to read more expansive pages in my own time but when I'm 'in the zone' as it were, the last thing I want to do is read through why something works. Perhaps it's a gap in the market? Or more likely I'm in the minority!
