If you type: >>> import os; help(os) Then you see the following (see below). But I don't understand where the line "MODULE DOCS http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-os.html "
is encoded in os.py anywhere. If you search for the words 'module-os.html' you find nothing. Ditto for 'MODULE DOCS' --- output follows --- Help on module os: NAME os - OS routines for Mac, DOS, NT, or Posix depending on what system we're o n. FILE /usr/lib/python2.4/os.py MODULE DOCS http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-os.html DESCRIPTION This exports: - all functions from posix, nt, os2, mac, or ce, e.g. unlink, stat, etc. - os.path is one of the modules posixpath, ntpath, or macpath - os.name is 'posix', 'nt', 'os2', 'mac', 'ce' or 'riscos' - os.curdir is a string representing the current directory ('.' or ':') - os.pardir is a string representing the parent directory ('..' or '::') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
