So far I've been using Python.org to find the docs. But when there is no internet connection, I'd like to browse the local documentation in a browser.

The question is: where is it?

I checked the framework bundle and there was nothing there except PyObjC docs:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework

and couldn't find anything under ~/Library or /usr/share/doc either.

Other than the pydoc command line tool (which provides documentation from the source docstrings and introspection only), there is no documentation installed by OS X.

You can download the documentation from Python.org instead; PDF (in A4 or Letter formatted pages), HTML and plain text options are provided there.
