Oct 24, 2026, 3:36 AMtl;dr https://www.python-a2z.info/ is a website I created for myself because the online #Python docs need a jump page.
Ever tried to search the online docs for the builtin "set" type? You get every page that has the word "set" in it, and "set" is a pretty popular word!
Same story for "list", "dict", and many more. "f-strings"? Unless you know to look for "Formatted String Literals", you'll be searching for a while.
Oct 24, 2026, 3:40 AMPython A2Z has jump pages for:
- Python keywords
- builtin types
- builtin functions
- the standard lib
- dunder methods
- exceptions
- type annotations
- helpful online doc sections (The Online Tutorial, HOWTOs, and more)
Python A2Z contains no redundant content, it just gives you quick access links to the main topics you'd look for in the online docs.
@ptmcg this would have saved me like half an hour recently, trying to remember/look up how to write a __getattr__ method that tries to access a real attribute without infinite recursion.
@ptmcg Great work!
This reminds me of the excellent https://ccbv.co.uk/ (by @ghickman, @meshy and many other contributors) which make working with Django's class based views so much easier.
