I've added using WebKit to the "Python Help" window in PyOXIDE - it 
took more time to get the pydoc HTML web server running in a separate 
thread (i.e, 10 minutes instead of 5), and the end result is very 
impressive (and even added a "search" field to the help browser).

Basically drop the view in with IB, and then:

     def showTopic(self, topic):
         from Foundation import NSURL, NSURLRequest
  self.webView.mainFrame().loadRequest_(NSURLRequest.requestWithURL_(NSURL.URLWithString_("http://localhost:13139/"+topic+".html")))
