The .chm file distributed with Python contains URL using the proprietary link scheme mk:@MSITStore. While this is not a problem in Windows environments, it prevents e.g. xchm from loading the pictures. My suggestion is to advise the html help compiler to make these links absolute without specifying a protocol. As I do not have setup the html help compiler here, I cannot check if this is a working work around. Having a .chm file that is compatible to multiple platforms is a large advantage because you can advise newbies to get this file. They are easy navigatable and tend to be complete.

Logged In: YES user_id=11105 The project files are generated by calling the script Doc/tools/prechm.py. See als PEP 101.

Logged In: YES user_id=254738 I figured out that this issue seems to be related to xchm and that there are no ms-specific URLs in the source. I recommend non-windows users to choose http://www.kchmviewer. net/ as it is known to work correctly with python's chm file.
