from http://pythonmac.org/wiki/FAQ

The MacPython Help or Python Documentation does not show up in Help 
Viewer

The documentation is not registered until you run the IDE at least once 
after installing. If you did run the IDE but the documentation still 
does not show up try removing the file 
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist. This will make the Help 
Viewer forget all documentation, but it will be filled in again when 
you run the respective programs (such as the IDE for the MacPython 
documentation).

That location is fixed.  You should not move it.  Most of the tools 
will work if moved, but some of them won't (for example, PackageManager 
will no longer detect that you have the addons installed).
