Thanks for the pointer, i did not realize that until now... These days of always-on internet corrupted me so much.

Infact the  first thing I ever did  with documentation on Python was to 
download it.
yes you are not uptodate but you can always do a download once in a 
while rather than putting load on the server every time you want to 
lookup a function reference.
Happy hacking.

The windows distribution comes with the docs bundled in a windows help 
file, updated with each bug fix release. Is there really no *nix 
equivalent that could be used or is this one area where windows really wins?

Most *nix distributions provide an optional doc package for each of the 
Python versions they support, for instance, in Debian:

$ aptitude search 'python[23].*-doc$'
p   python2.6-doc  
p   python2.7-doc 
p   python3-doc 
p   python3.1-doc
p   python3.2-doc 

Also each python.org Mac OS X installers includes a copy of the 
documentation for its version, in HTML format the same as the on-line 
versions.  The docs are easily accessible through a menu item in each 
version of IDLE.  And recent versions of the installer also include a 
clickable link to the docs in each /Applications/Python x.y folder.

One advantage of the on-line versions is that they are updated daily 
with the latest fixes to the documentation.
