I don't think they'll be hurt by it, either.  But I see a lot of API
clients that are complicated beasties, and I think authors of those
programs are hurt by searching on a site that's primarily about the web
site.  Documentation about our Python API will often apply to the web
API, and following our style can't hurt, if continue on the path and end
up contributing code.

Under /API/ on dev.launchpad.net?  That would be okay with me.
