Why's there no Win* executable pydoc?
Let me know if I should ask this elsewhere. In part,
I think I'm searching for larger generalizations that
I'm particularizing with this specific instance.
A Unix-side installation-from-source provides, along
with much else, an executable /usr/local/bin/pydoc,
whose content is simply
#!/usr/bin/env python
import pydoc
pydoc.cli()
As near as I can tell, installation of the 2.1 Python
binaries for Win* gives no corresponding executable or
"shortcut" for that (those) platform(s). Is it intended
generally to provide homologous facilities for each of
Unix and Win* (and MacOS)? Is ... well, how should I
think about this?
I wrote Ka-Ping Yee (the pydoc lord--right?) earlier in
the day. I've received no response.
