Help is at hand from Edgewall Software who have a very handy Python Sidebar for Firefox available for download. This provides a nice reactive browsable Python reference including the tutorial, language reference, library reference and module index.
Edgewall also have an open source project system which includes a wiki for team documentation and integrates with subversion – it’s called Trac.
