Fair point :)

This isn't quite what I meant either; I had intended it to be done at either 
Python build or install time.  Your method is much simpler, though, I like it.

That said, here's the diff between the (now) current Lib/idlelib/help.txt and 
the Sphinx ``make text`` output of Doc/library/idle.rst.  I've not found where 
we've automated the pydoc topics generation, else I'd try to provide a patch to 
do this as well.
