The modified pydoc_win32.py file is at the URL below. ka ps. If you're getting tired of seeing these small tweaks posted to the list, please flame me directly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and I'll consider some other forum for announcements; please don't do a flame reply to the whole list ;-) --- http://www.semi-retired.com/python/pythonwin/ pydoc_win32.py This is a replacement for pydoc_win32.py in Python21\as_pydoc. When you select "Find Module Documentation" or start pydoc_win32 from the command prompt or Explorer the first line of the contents of the clipboard minus any leading or trailing space is automatically placed in the Search text field. That way you can simply copy the text you are interested in while working in PythonWin, open the module documentation search, and hit the search button. Note that it is possible to get close to this by simply typing Ctrl-V when the window comes up in the standard implementation, but since there is no Edit menu for the window, it isn't obvious, plus extra lines and white space won't be stripped for you. If Ping adds his CGI search at http://web.pydoc.org/ to the standard pydoc.py install, then the documentation server and this small tweak should become even more useful since you'll be able to search for unqualified member names on your local server. However, until then this script also adds a "Web Search" button that takes the contents of the search text field and launches the browser to search web.pydoc.org. This search is much more general and often more useful. I'm tempted to modify the GUI and code further, so that the search sites listed at http://www.python.org/search/ and http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/ and some others are selectable from a dropdown list, so you can quickly search a variety of web sites in addition to your local pydoc server. If you would like to see that addition, let me know. I'm not sure if there is a better way to integrate this with the local ActiveState Documentation .chm file, but I would like to hear any ideas you might have. _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activepython
