New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <[email protected]>:
$ pydoc3.1 pydoc
Help on module pydoc:
NAME
pydoc - Generate Python documentation in HTML or text for interactive use.
FILE
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/pydoc.py
MODULE DOCS
http://docs.python.org/library/pydoc
I suggest changing the default base URL to
http://docs.python.org/release/X.Y.Z
I would also like to take this opportunity and make some other improvements:
1. Clarify that the linked document is the authoritative reference and that
generated documentation may expose functions that are considered internal and
subject to change or removal. (Suggestions for an exact wording are welcome.)
2. Move the FILE section to the end. This will free up some screen space for
an expanded "AUTHORITATIVE REFERENCE" section. (Yes, I think the section title
"MODULE DOCS" can be improved, but my mind is not set on any particular
alternative.)
3. Do not include __special__ names in the DATA section. At the very least,
exclude __author__, __version__, and other special names that cause generation
of document sections:
DATA
__author__ = 'Ka-Ping Yee <[email protected]>'
__credits__ = 'Guido van Rossum, for an excellent programming l...erla...
__date__ = '26 February 2001'
__version__ = '$Revision: 78210 $'
VERSION
78210
DATE
26 February 2001
