R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Under 2.5 this could be due to various weird issues with your python path and the modules on it. Try running python from a clean directory and specifying the -E flag and see if the behavior changes, and/or try importing tempfile at the python prompt and see if you get a more useful message.
Under 2.7 I think pydoc handles this better. Note that even if you find a bug in 2.5 it no longer receives bug fixes, so you'd also have to be able to reproduce it in 2.6. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7749> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
