You can run pydoc as a server and hit it with your browser: """ Run "pydoc -p <port>" to start an HTTP server on a given port on the local machine to generate documentation web pages. """ However, I'm having trouble getting this to work in Python 2.4 on WinXP, per the traceback below: D:\Python24\Lib>python pydoc.py -p 7887 Traceback (most recent call last): File "pydoc.py", line 55, in ? import sys, imp, os, re, types, inspect, __builtin__ File "D:\Python24\Lib\re.py", line 5, in ? from sre import * File "D:\Python24\Lib\sre.py", line 97, in ? import sre_compile File "D:\Python24\Lib\sre_compile.py", line 17, in ? assert _sre.MAGIC == MAGIC, "SRE module mismatch" AssertionError: SRE module mismatch On the other hand, when I change to Python 2.3 and try the same thing, it works: D:\Python24\Lib>cd.. D:\Python24>cd .. D:\>cd python23 D:\Python23>cd lib D:\Python23\Lib>python pydoc.py -p 7887 pydoc server ready at http://localhost:7887/ Anyone able to get the 2.4 pydoc server working in Windows?
