Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library >Group: 3rd Party >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: BartlebyScrivener (bscrivener) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: keyword and topic help broken in Pythonwin IDE Initial Comment: Using ActivePython 2.4.3 on Windows XP While in the Pythonwin IDE, if I seek keyword help by issuing the following command: >>>help ('while') I get: Sorry, topic and keyword documentation is not available because the Python HTML documentation files could not be found. If you have installed them, please set the environment variable PYTHONDOCS to indicate their location. My PYTHONDOCS variable is set to: c:\python24\Doc\Python-Docs-2.4.2\ref which appears to be correct (ie the help html files are installed there). Searching this group, I found someone else complaining about the same behavior with no clear resolution. http://tinyurl.com/pblev See also http://tinyurl.com/mbokp ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-05-29 21:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Closing as 3rd party. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: BartlebyScrivener (bscrivener) Date: 2006-05-21 00:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1523094 help('topic') or help('keyword') doesn't work in IDLE or Pythonwin IDE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2006-05-20 07:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 Since you are using the Pythonwin IDE, which was written and is supported by Mark Hammond via the pywin32 project, perhaps you should be visiting his project page instead: http://sf.net/projects/pywin32 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1489051&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
