thanks, I'm aware of that actually, and seeing all the information available there was inspiring to me. what I am actually trying to do is to build a database of Python modules. so then later, I can write a tool in my favorite editor (Emacs) to invoke some forms of completion against this database (e.g. os.remov<TAB> or socket.<TAB> to see a list of all socket module definitions). I was browsing pydoc.py but at first glance was having trouble separating what in the code what is for the GUI, what is for the Web server, and what does the introspection. I have actually borrowed the ModuleScanner class already, to build the list of modules. It is just inspecting those modules further where I'm having trouble. thanks, -- Benjamin Rutt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
