I have been hoping to work on a proper tkinter doc. I discovered some time ago through the pydoc server (not currently working for me, see http://bugs.python.org/issue14512) that their are doc strings for (most) everything. I have been meaning to ask whether there is a way to build a draft doc from the doc strings.
I'll do it. Frankly speaking I don't like to do, 'hate' is better word to describe my opinion. But somebody need to make tkinter docs consistent. I doubt if that work can be done by some script well enough — docstrings should to be reformatted according to Sphinx markup. Please after I will finish initial transform help me to make this part of documentation as good as Python Docs should be. I think the excellent narrative Python documentation makes a big deal in python wide spreading. I remember docs for 1.5. Not so bad, but it's incompatible to docs for now. Also, please help me to make hg clone for tk documentation located in hg.python.org. I tried to: andrew@tiktaalik2 ~/projects> hg clone ssh://hg@hg.python.org/cpython ssh://hg@hg.python.org/sandbox/tkdocs repo created, public URL is http://hg.python.org/sandbox/tkdocs abort: clone from remote to remote not supported http://hg.python.org/sandbox/tkdocs is empty. Looks like I don't know Mercurial well enough to to it. When I'll get online clone of cpython available to myself as well as visible to everyone and write accessible to python committers (I hope you will push updates as well) — I will start to do. -- Thanks, Andrew Svetlov
