PyDoc in Windows Vista

2008-08-29 Thread Tyler Shopshire 
I can't seem to access the pydoc sever from my web browser. I start the 
server from the command prompt and everything seems to be working fine, 
then I got to http://localhost:/ and it doesn't work. I also tried 
starting the graphical mode with the -g parameter but I still cannot use 
PyDoc. It works on my Ubuntu Partition so I do know how to use it. Any 
help is appreciated.

PyDoc in Vista

2008-08-29 Thread Tyler Shopshire 
I can't seem to get Pydoc up and running in windows Vista. I can search 
for modules manually by using the pydoc module_name command but if i 
try to set up an http server, it says the server is up and running but I 
can't access it in FF or IE. Any help is appreciated.

 My guess is that either your hosts file isn't pointing to the loopback
 address or you have a firewall issue. See the following website for one
 solution to the hosts issue: http://bytes.com/forum/thread645776.html
 
 As for the firewall, you'll have to check Windows Firewall and / or your
 own firewall, if you use ZoneAlarm or Norton 360 or some such.

I found the solution for some strange reason FF was adding .com to 
localhost. So the url was http://localhost.com:/. I didn't notice 
this initially but once I did I tried some things and the guys in the 
#python channel in freenode suggested to use the loopback address. So I 
entered 127.0.0.1: and that worked.
