[issue5783] IDLE cannot find windows chm file

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Fragile solution, but it works.  IMO, it's a better design to just have
the file named Python26.chm like it always used to be done.   Now, we've
duplicated someones arbitrary logic (ignoring sys.version_info.serial
and special casing sys.version_info.release_level=="final") but the
duplication isn't exact because the original puts dots better the major,
minor, and micro versions.  This is asking for another bug someday when
the logic gets changed in one place but not the other.
