I think it's a great improvement over what was there before.
My first criticism is that it's a bit confusing to get to the important
part (the actual API documentation, which has been what a lot of people
here were asking for), it's hidden in the lower right-hand corner ("Modules
| Classes | Index"). Why not add these to the bulleted list, towards the
top?
Second, would it be possible to add a link from each PyQt5 class API page,
to the official Qt5 API page?
