Don't know if it's already too late, but I suppose feedback is always
appreciated.
At first, good idea to remove the regexp section, because it's almost
always the same. I hope you replace it with a list of list methods?!
And to the list of special class methods, if you mention some of the
mathematical operators like __eq__() you should maybe also mention
that there are a lot more if these (e.g. for shift and modulo etc).
The sys.argv box and the slicing is done very well, but I miss
something about string formatting.
Other things coming into my mind were some unicode decode functions
(because I'm German and I often have problems with umlauts) and time
functions, because without them, the strftime reference is more or
less useless.

All in all very well done, thanks for your great work, that's one more
cheat sheet in my collection.

Greets, Charly
