Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
In the IDLE Help menu, 'Python Docs', default hotkey 'F1', invokes
'<<python-docs>>', which is handled by EditorWindow.help_docs. For Windows,
line 599, is 'os.startfile(self.help_url)'. (Otherwise, webbrowser is used.)
On Windows, help_url is os.path.join(sys.base_prefix, 'Doc','Python%s.chm' %
_sphinx_version())
if the result is valid, else python.org/...(but '3.1' because only 3 chars are
grabbed).
How do I use winreg to get the file name from
"HKCU\Software\Python\PythonCore\{sys.winver}\Help\Main Python Documentation"?
The winreg doc assumes some knowledge of registry terminology that I do not
have and has no examples, so my attempts failed.
