Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: python2.5

I'm not sure what happened, I'm just starting with python.  I was
working from the console; entered a (possibly bad) command:

$ pydoc -k in

and I saw the following output:
=============================
__builtin__ - Built-in functions, exceptions, and other objects.
posix - This module provides access to operating system functionality that is
signal - This module provides mechanisms to use signal handlers in Python.
sys - This module provides access to some objects used or maintained by the
xxsubtype - xxsubtype is an example module showing how to subtype builtin types 
from C.
zipimport - zipimport provides support for importing Python modules from Zip 
archives.
HTMLgenutils - HTML form utility from Harms and McDonald (Manning, 1999).
_gnuplot - Cross-platform handling of Gnuplot. The script accepts the
backup - Take backup of files with specified extensions in specified
couldfind
diff - Command line interface to difflib.py providing diffs in three formats:
file2interactive - Execute a Python script and present output such that it 
seems that
floatdiff - Tool for examining diferences of float data in regression tests.
gnuplot_thread - Examples on general plotting with Gnuplot in
modulecheck - Purpose: import a set of modules. If modules are missing,
needmodules - Find the modules required by a Python script.
py4cs - Tools associated with the "Python Scripting for Computational Science" 
book.
py4cs.BoxGrid - Class for uniform and non-uniform grid on an interval, 
rectangle, or box.
py4cs.CanvasCoords - Transformation between canvas and physical coordinates.
py4cs.DrawFunction - Interactive drawing of y=f(x) functions.
py4cs.EfficiencyTable - This module contains a class for managing 
efficiency/performance
py4cs.FuncDependenceViz - Module containing class FuncDependenceViz.
py4cs.FunctionSelector - Notebook for selecting functions.
py4cs.ParameterInterface - Utilities for holding and displaying data about 
input parameters.
py4cs.StringFunction - Make a string with a mathematical expression behave as a 
Python function.
py4cs.convergencerate - Module for estimating convergence rate of numerical 
algorithms,
py4cs.easyplot - %(easyviz)s is a light-weight interface to curve plotting in 
Python scripts.
Easyviz backend is now gnuplot_

=================================

Then a dialog box popped up in X11 indicating a python crash, and here
we are.  It may be that some functions installed in my home directory
are not configured properly for python2.5 (they came with the book
"Python Scripting for Computation Science", which I am studying.  Hope
this is helpful.
