1. how can I launch the windows help file (CHM), from python with a
keyword as argument ?
Run hh.exe. If you want it to navigate to specific page, also pass that
page on the command line (finding out the exact syntax is left as an
exercise)
That's one way,
in the meanwhile I found win32help.py,
which I finally got to work.
The whole hh.exe (seems also to be a wellknown virus) and win32help
documentation is very hard to find.
2. now when my program should also run under Linux/Mac, how should I
call the help file under Linux/Mac.
Provide an HTML tree of the documentation, and use the webbrowser module
to start a browser on it.
Yes, but for context sensitive help that's a little bit primitive.
I'm now working on the idea of offering 3 levels of context sensitive
help (through F1, shift-F1, ctrl-F1):
- standard doc ( chm-keyword / html-tag )
- search on google
- help from a user defined location ( chm / html / search engine / txt /
pdf )
thanks again,
cheers,
Stef
