I'm not sure what you're talking about. Python documentation is integrated into the language. Here, this screen shot is on my arch system: http://phraktured.net/gallery/albums/snippets/help_sys.png > Also, it provides corresponding files for vim and emacs.

Well, even the expert ( i am not one ) needs to refer > the documentation sometimes. :) Hmm, what does this mean? It includes actual vim helpfiles? What does one gain over directly using pydoc? If the docs are the same, then the argument is the same as man v info - we don't need yet-another-copy of the same documentation, which works fine on arch (see above screenshot) - phrak _______________________________________________ arch mailing list arch@archlinux.org http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
