A friend made me aware of this:
When a python beginner (2.x) quick searches for "print" on 
docs.python.org, the print function doesn't even come up in the top 20 
results.  The print statement isn't even listed as far as I can tell.  
Is there something that can be done about this to make it easier for 
beginners?

I understand that this is a very basic search and "print" is a very 
common word and a very basic python statement, but it's pretty difficult 
for a beginner to learn when the first 5 results are about the 
disassembler and the next 5 are C functions.
