+    <h2>About the Python Documentation</h2>
+
+    <p>The Python documentation was originally written by Guido van
+      Rossum, but has increasingly become a community effort over the
+      past several years.  This growing collection of documents is
+      available in several formats, including typeset versions in PDF
+      and PostScript for printing, from the <a
+        href="http://www.python.org/">Python Web site</a>.
+
+    <h2>Comments and Questions</h2>
