1 ===================== 2 About these documents 3 ===================== 4 5 6 These documents are generated from `reStructuredText`_ sources by `Sphinx`_, a 7 document processor specifically written for the Python documentation. 8 9 .. _reStructuredText: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html 10 .. _Sphinx: http://sphinx-doc.org/ 11 12 .. In the online version of these documents, you can submit comments and suggest 13 changes directly on the documentation pages. 14 15 Development of the documentation and its toolchain is an entirely volunteer 16 effort, just like Python itself. If you want to contribute, please take a 17 look at the :ref:`reporting-bugs` page for information on how to do so. New 18 volunteers are always welcome! 19 20 Many thanks go to: 21 22 * Fred L. Drake, Jr., the creator of the original Python documentation toolset 23 and writer of much of the content; 24 * the `Docutils <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/>`_ project for creating 25 reStructuredText and the Docutils suite; 26 * Fredrik Lundh for his `Alternative Python Reference 27 <http://effbot.org/zone/pyref.htm>`_ project from which Sphinx got many good 28 ideas. 29 30 31 Contributors to the Python Documentation 32 ---------------------------------------- 33 34 Many people have contributed to the Python language, the Python standard 35 library, and the Python documentation. See :source:`Misc/ACKS` in the Python 36 source distribution for a partial list of contributors. 37 38 It is only with the input and contributions of the Python community 39 that Python has such wonderful documentation -- Thank You! 40
