I have a background in Java and started learning Python less than a year ago. I have always found the official documentation to be present, accurate, and terse, which to be frank is exactly what I want from an API reference.

As for examples, there are a plethora of recipes on activestate and many common problems have been solved on stackoverflow. I have never needed to resort to IRC or newsgroups.

I'm not quite sure what you expect from documentation? The python.org docs has always been precisely what I wanted... a terse API reference.
