[python-win32] PyDoc problems

What are people using to generate html documentation on MS Windows
machines?

I have been using the version of PyDoc included in the Python 2.1
distribution, but I get occasional errors of the form:

problem in d:\py_addons\generic\keyed_archive.py - NameError: name
'generic' is not defined

when the Python interpreter has no problem importing the module (i.e.,
"import generic.keyed_archive" executes as expected).  Sometimes, simply

stopping and restarting PyDoc "fixes" this error, but sooner or later
this type of error appears for some (other) module -- perhaps one that
previously did not generate the error.
