I think he means by decent examples:

- concise

- clear

- showing general useful usage

- showing peculiar usage in the case of warts

Looking into the (not concise) spambayes code for an example how to
use IMAP is *not* like looking at a decent example. It is more like a
last resort. Also looking at the Python Cookbook examples doesn't
help much because they are either not concise or too simplistic or
etc. Designing decent examples is hard work.
