I'm not trying to run py2exe I'm trying to generate a html file with documentation (hence pydoc -w) (python -w doesn't even exist)
I have a directory whith 4 files: checkvalue.py <-- the actual source with documentation helperfunctions.py <-- some extra functions setup.py <-- settings file for py2exe build.bat <-- batch file to do the actual build when trying to build the documentation for the whole directory (and not run it 2 times for the 2 py files that need documentation) pydoc choces on the setup.py file joram -----Original Message----- From: Jesus Rivero - (Neurogeek) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 23 March, 2006 19:47 To: Joram Agten Cc: python-list@python.org Subject: Re: pydoc does not like this file -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hmmm guess -w should be after python and not after pydoc: python -w c:\python24\Lib\pydoc.py .\setup.py And i also guess you are missing a command after setup.py (if you are using py2exe, that must be the command you are looking for.) so try this: $ python -w c:\python24\Lib\pydoc.py .\setup.py py2exe Best Regards, Jesús Rivero - (Neurogeek) Joram Agten wrote: > Hello please put me in CC > > I'm trying pydoc as documentation for my projects but I have the > following problem when runnig pydoc on my whole project there is > also a file setup.py (from py2exe) but pydoc gives me the following > for that file: > > [D:\programming\trunk\tecap\joag\checkvalue]python > c:\python24\Lib\pydoc.py -w .\setup.py problem in .\setup.py - > SystemExit: usage: pydoc.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 > [cmd2_opts] ...] or: pydoc.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: pydoc.py > --help-commands or: pydoc.py cmd --help > > error: option -w not recognized > > there are no statements or functions in that file, and also no > documentation anybody has any idea? > > joram -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEIu09dIssYB9vBoMRAmfOAJ4h9mb5PgD/ZTWdh1VDu6GMvAb5DgCfTpPz 4UgOQcwkH6VhPQpjZI15nW0= =W2ZS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
