On Debian Etch, if ~/mypyscripts is in my bash PATH and also in PYTHONPATH, I get the following pydoc behaviors. Maybe this is intentional. I'm just checking to be sure I don't have something misconfigured in my environment.
If I have two scripts or modules in ~/mypyscripts: one script.py and one scriptpy (no extension), and do: $>pydoc script I get the documentation strings for script.py. However, if I do: $>pydoc scriptpy I get no doc strings, even if I am in the ~/mypyscripts directory, error message: "no Python documentation found for 'scriptpy'" Instead I must do: $>pydoc ~/mypyscripts/scriptpy even though ~/mypyscripts is in both PATH and PYTHONPATH Took me awhile to sort this out. Is this the way pydoc is supposed to work? thanks, rpd -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
