And if you set PAGER=cat (thus "crippling your shell"), you will likewise know where to get them when you want to page the output from man or git. Why is pydoc less of a "place where a pager should be used by default" than man or git (diff, log, etc), if you accept the latter? > When we dont, please dont thump them on us > I dont know that anyone has taken the "I-HATE-pagers' view so much as > "Let me get them when I want them" Sure. And if you set PAGER=cat, then you won't ever see a pager unless you specifically request one. Everyone wins. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
