Hi! It's my birthday today, and i think it would be a really awesome present if pydoc.py were to be accepted into the distribution. :) (Not just because it's my birthday, though. I would hope it is worth accepting based on its own merits.) The most recent version of pydoc is just a single file, for the easiest possible setup -- zero installation effort. You only need the "inspect" module to run it. You can find it under the CVS tree at nondist/sandbox/help/pydoc.py or download it from http://www.lfw.org/python/pydoc.py http://www.lfw.org/python/inspect.py Among other things, it now handles a few corner cases better, the formatting is a bit improved, and you can now tell it to write out the documentation to files on disk if that's your fancy (it can still display the documentation interactively in your shell or your web browser). -- ?!ng
