FWIW, the Info version of the Python manual doesn't look very good. The
(only) reason being that Info doesn't let you write a plain hyperlink in
the middle of a sentence; rather it assumes that all hyperlinks are part
of the phrase “See [link target].”.
Since the Python manual wasn't written specifically for Texinfo, it has
lots of hyperlinks, and so will say things like "this function takes a
see string. as argument and return a see boolean."
I brought this up in [1], but unfortunately the Texinfo people seem to
like this limitation a lot.
By the way, this issue is what led me to write the devdocs [2] package.
