Williams (cjwhrh) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: PyDoc crashes at os.py line 133 Initial Comment: Details of the attempted runs are given below: C:\Python24\Lib>python pydoc.py sys Help on built-in module sys: NAME sys FILE (built-in) MODULE DOCS http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-sys.html etc. etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The above works OK but the following - advertised in the PyDoc.py comment - fails. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C:\Python24\Lib>pydoc sys 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python24\Lib\pydoc.py", line 54, in ? import sys, imp, os, re, types, inspect, __builtin__ File "C:\Python24\Lib\os.py", line 133 from os.path import (curdir, pardir, sep, pathsep, defpath, extsep, altsep, ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lines 132 to 134 of os.py: sys.modules['os.path'] = path from os.path import (curdir, pardir, sep, pathsep, defpath, extsep, altsep, devnull) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The above "from X import" usage appears legitimate.
