pydoc on the python 2.2 distribution fails to generate html doc(when option -w is given) Traceback follows Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/dump/Python-2.2/Lib/pydoc.py", line 2101, in ? if __name__ == '__main__': cli() File "/opt/dump/Python-2.2/Lib/pydoc.py", line 2070, in cli writedoc(arg) File "/opt/dump/Python-2.2/Lib/pydoc.py", line 1341, in writedoc object = locate(key, forceload) File "/opt/dump/Python-2.2/Lib/pydoc.py", line 1293, in locate parts = split(path, '.') File "/opt/dump/Python-2.2/Lib/string.py", line 117, in split return s.split(sep, maxsplit) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'split' On further investigation I was able to fix it. Attached is the fix.

Logged In: YES user_id=6380 I want to believe you, but I cannot reproduce the traceback. Can you tell me which command line you used to cause the traceback, and on which operating system?

Logged In: YES user_id=452533 It happened to me on Redhat Linux 7.1 when I ran pydoc using the -w option to generate html output. -w invokes the writedoc method and it expects an arg(filename) instead of the module object returned by imp_load. I have also submitted a fix for this. Thanks for following up on this quickly. --Raj

Logged In: YES user_id=452533 the commandline was $pydoc -w I cannot give you the exact commandline and traceback as I am unable to get thru my VPN now. But I am pretty sure that was the commandline. Refer to [ #514628 ] bug in pydoc on python 2.2 release in Python - Patches. --Raj

Logged In: YES user_id=92689 I can reproduce the traceback by going into the Python src dir and typing % pydoc -w Lib/os.py The problem begins in cli(): writedoc() expects a string but arg as just been assigned a module by importfile(arg). I don't understand what's supposed to happen, but I doubt Raj's patch is the proper solution. (Not sure how helpful this was, but Skip's cron job is pretty cool... ;-)

Logged In: YES user_id=670441 Version 1.68 of pydoc.py fixed this in response to bug #586931. That bug has been closed, someone should close this one too.
