About these documents关于这些文档

These documents are generated from reStructuredText sources by Sphinx, a document processor specifically written for the Python documentation.这些文档由Sphinx从reStructuredText源代码生成，Sphinx是专门为Python文档编写的文档处理器。

Development of the documentation and its toolchain is an entirely volunteer effort, just like Python itself. 文档及其工具链的开发完全是自愿的，就像Python本身一样。If you want to contribute, please take a look at the Dealing with Bugs page for information on how to do so. 如果你想做出贡献，请查看处理bug页面，了解如何做到这一点。New volunteers are always welcome!欢迎新的志愿者！
