It would be good if the docs directory on python.org
included a "view entire document as one big html page"
for each document.  If I want to read through a
document from beginning to end, it's a  big pain to
have to keep clicking around at the end of each page,
especially if I'm looking at most pages for just a
second or so.  For the biggest documents (Python
library) maybe there could be several sections.  Right
now the only way to see everything at once is with the
PDF, which is much more hassle than browsing html.

Might be nice, but it's obvious I've not gotten to this, so removing
myself from the issue.

The new docs (see http://docs.python.org/dev) have much longer
individual HTML pages, perhaps this is already enough for your needs (a
single Library Reference page would be several Megabytes in size...)
