That part should have been deleted, I meant your whole program sounded good, not just that part. :-) >>command line parser to it today, but nothing as elaborate as you have >>already.

Good idea, I think I'll follow your lead.

But this is a bug of the standard library, > not of my tool ;) Thats part of what I'm trying to resolve, the doc strings a lot of time isn't enough by itself or is missing. So I'm trying to build up a complete enough record so if there is no doc string, at least some sense of what it is can be figured out without a lot browsing or looking at the source code. Then to enable different searches by subject and keywords on these instead of by package or module. > For the index: "minidoc" associates a footnote number to every name, > and then > prints the names in alphabetical order.

It took me a while before I realized the whole page *is* the output and not a part of it as I expected. Did you use the inspect module to get the class/function name and args? BTW, I presume you're aware that the "source links" on the web page link to your computer and not to a file on the web site. Just letting know in case it was an over site. Cheers, _Ron Ps... I like your physics link page. :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
