It looks like if we put it here:
dochome = os.path.join(sys.prefix, 'Doc', 'index.html')
Which translates to:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Doc/index.html
Then the right thing will happen. The problem is that the docs are
separate, so it'll be yet another hack in the build script to fetch
this:
http://python.org/ftp/python/doc/2.4.2/html-2.4.2.zip
And then unzip it such that Python-Docs-2.4.2 ends up at os.path.join
(sys.prefix, 'Doc') (either by symlink or rename).
