http://docs.python.org/devguide/

it covers pretty much complicated stuff, which takes a lot of time to grasp. Pictures help to save hours if not weeks. There needs to be some immediate intro picture at the top of front page illustrating transformation of Python code through the toolchain to machine execution instructions.

Feel free to draw some and send a patch.

Thanks for the proposal, but you know perfectly that I am not a designer. I don't believe that there are no talented people who find this ticket interesting. You just need to add tag:easy to is (or allow others to do), so it became visible to these people via OpenHatch or through PSF outreach initiatives.

We're not designers either. However, something that *could* help is to investigate whether or not the blockdiag and seqdiag Sphinx extensions can be integrated into the build toolchain for the devguide and the main Python docs.

That would drastically lower the barrier for including basic diagrams where appropriate (since it would just be ASCII art inside an appropriate Sphinx directive) and thus greatly increase the chance of it happening.

Plain ASCII-art might also be enough, but without specific indication of what kind of pictures you want and where you want them I'm going to close this.
