I don't know exactly how does help() try to find the documentation, but I have these differences: - I don't have a PYTHONDOCS variable (nor PYTHONPATH nor anything similar) - The Windows registry contains this entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.5\Help\Main Python Documentation] @="C:\\Apps\\Python25\\Doc\\Python25.chm" - I *think* that I installed the HTML docs on that same directory a long time ago... Hope this info could help you. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
