Fundamentally I think what's wanted is: - Another level of sub-TOCs, e.g. one for "Sequence Types", "Mapping Types", etc. Every page that has sub-topics or intimately related should have a list of them at the beginning. - The special methods for a given type of class would make a really good "intimately related" topic for "Sequence Types" and "Mapping Types". +1 to all that.

I agree that the docs on special methods really are hard to find if you don't know where to look.

Another thing that would be really useful is to list the actual built-in types with the category. For example: Sequence Types (str, unicode, list, tuple, buffer, xrange) Mapping Types (dict) +1

If I understand correctly what you mean, that's already done.
