So does anyone else like having locally installed documentation?

I was working on packaging documentation for libraries I've uploaded to Debian, and I wonder if anyone else likes using them?

@alienghic I like having them available if I need to do work on a plane or somewhere else with patchy WiFi but wouldn't routinely install them due to the low storage space on SSDs, especially the latest Macbook Pro models

@robinjanssens I thought I'd check the sizes of some of the documentation I care about. Python 3.6 is very efficient at only 106K, but Pandas? 67M, Statsmodels is even worse at 82M

Diane @alienghic

@robinjanssens Ah ha. python3.6's html files were hidden in the main binary package, and not the -doc package and so are actually 43M. That seems more believable.
