modindex is comprehensive but too 'flat'. Sometimes you want to see all of one object's methods and properties listed together. I was unaware of pydoc until this thread; its existence seems to be buried, somewhat. Looking at pydoc.org (assuming that is a good example of it in use), it looks more like what the original poster and I might want, but sadly it's still very inconsistent, with many things undescribed. -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
