In the interpreter, just do >>> help(sys) or >>> help("sys") if you didn't already import the module. What you tried is what you would do on the command line. I'm not sure it works on windows, though, but python -m pydoc sys Should work on both windows and unix. Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
