Understanding Python Documentation

[Josh Cronemeyer]

Hi,

I have very little experience programming in python but considerable
experience with java. One thing that is frustrating me is the differences in
the documentation style. Javadocs, at the top level are just a list of
packages. Drilling down on a package reveals a list of classes in that
package, and drilling down on a class reveals a list of methods for that
class. Is there something similar for python?

The closest thing I have found to this for python is
http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.2/modindex.html which really isn't the same
thing at all.

wxpython has their documentation like this http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/
is there something like this for the rest of python?

pydoc - sorry to be terse... I'm sure others will expand.

There was also a project, recently, that generated the sort of api
documentation for the whole standard library.
