Here's their reasoning for a redesign: http://pythonorg-redesign.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#current...
In any event I'm happy that python.org renews. When I wanted to learn Python and Ruby, I checked out Ruby first because the materials seemed more up to date (at the time there was no other way to prioritize and it wasn't important either.)
Can't wait to see the winner!
In python what happens? I google something simple like "python add on to list" and I'm greeted with... "5. Data Structures". I mean, maybe that's what I'm looking for. I google "python current time" and the first thing on the page is "This module provides various time-related functions" at which point I have to read each function definition one by one until I find the one I want.
When I'm in the docs it's because I want to know how to do something, and I want to learn how to do it in as little time as possible so I can get back to work. Playing find the function on a module page just doesn't stand up to the first result on a google search.
Having said this i rarely if ever hear any criticism of the python docs from others.
E: sorry, why was stating my opinion, when sought, deserving of downvoting? If you disagree then say so-- i even stated i thought my opinion was a minority one!
(Sometimes when it's hard to put into words an exact reasoning for something you feel it turns out to be worth investigating.)
- The site's colour of orange on gray is impossible for a
colour-blind person to read.
- The comments are not authoritative, so you get well-meaning
but ignorant comments that are incorrect.
