Summary: Installing documentation doesn't make it show up

Initial Comment:
If you're installing the full Python documentation through 
Package Manager, but you've already run the IDE previously 
(the common case) the new documentation doesn't show up 
in the Apple Help Viewer. It does show up when you remove 
your help preferences.

Probably a bug in the registration code in PythonIDE.

Should be obsolete as PythonIDE is deprecated...

The IDE registration code turns out to be fine, so the problem is 
probably that if you do AHRegisterHelpBook() for an app for which 
you've done so before the call is simply ignored, in stead of the 
app being re-examined. This makes the problem difficult to fix 
right now.

A possible fix would be to put the "MacPython Help" and "Python 
Documentation" into two different apps (the former in the IDE and 
the latter in Python.app?), but that's too much work for now.
