Python HOWTOs
***************
Python HOWTOs are documents that cover a single, specific topic,
and attempt to cover it fairly completely. Modelled on the Linux
Documentation Project's HOWTO collection, this collection is an
effort to foster documentation that's more detailed than the
Python Library Reference.
Currently, the HOWTOs are:
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
cporting.rst
curses.rst
descriptor.rst
gdb_helpers.rst
enum.rst
functional.rst
logging.rst
logging-cookbook.rst

sockets.rst
sorting.rst
unicode.rst
urllib2.rst
argparse.rst
