Benjamin (or anyone else), do you know where I can get the Compiled Windows Help file -- python27.chm -- for this release? In the past I've been able to download it from the Python web site, but have been unable to locate it anywhere for this new release. I can't build it myself because I don't have the Microsoft HTML help file compiler. Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
