Jim:
I have a copy of Fedora 8 in a VMachine. I found that I could get the
Pydoc Server to start by doing the following. I also found that I had
to install tkinter first. I then modified a copy of "pydoc" in usr/bin
as follows:
#!/usr/bin env python2.5
import pydoc
if __name__ == '__main__':
pydoc.gui() # Was pydoc.cli() in the original
"pydoc"
I then named it "pydocgui", saved it to the desktop for now, then set it
to open with Python in its document properties.
If I double click on this file, then select run from the dialog, the
Pydoc Server opens.
