pydoc does not like this file

[Joram Agten]

I'm not trying to run py2exe
I'm trying to generate a html file with documentation (hence pydoc -w)
(python -w doesn't even exist)

I have a directory whith 4 files:
checkvalue.py       <-- the actual source with documentation
helperfunctions.py  <-- some extra functions
setup.py            <-- settings file for py2exe
build.bat           <-- batch file to do the actual build

when trying to build the documentation for the whole directory
(and not run it 2 times for the 2 py files that need documentation)
pydoc choces on the setup.py file

hmmm guess -w should be after python and not after pydoc:

python -w c:\python24\Lib\pydoc.py  .\setup.py

And i also guess you are missing a command after setup.py (if you are
using py2exe, that must be the command you are looking for.) so try this:

$ python -w c:\python24\Lib\pydoc.py .\setup.py py2exe
