Python 2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:19:29) [GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from sys import stdout >>> help (stdout.closed)
If I do this, it gives me help on the bool object. Also: >>> stdout.closed.__doc__ 'bool(x) -> bool\n\nReturns True when the argument x is true, False otherwise.\nThe builtins True and False are the only two instances of the class bool.\nThe class bool is a subclass of the class int, and cannot be subclassed.' What's going on here? Other docstrings in sys.stdout work fine. Pekka (uses 2.4.3 on another comp) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
