| Entering IDLE in 2.2.2 on Win2K: >>> help() help> topics Lists (among many others), UNICODE. Howver, help> UNICODE elicits the error: could not read docs from C:\PYTHON22\doc/ref/unicode.html It seemed the only entry in topics that did fail, but I am not certain this is so. | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=3066 I've looked into this briefly, and it looks like this is caused by the pydoc module (which implements the interactive help facility) having a static mapping of topic names to HTML files. Since this list is static in the code, and not generated from the documentation in any way, it's out of date. That section (which was available for Python 2.1.x) was never filled in with anything more than "XXX explain more here...". It's not at all clear what documentation this should point to; I suspect it's material that still needs to be written. I'll open a separate bug on the matter that the list of topics is not integrated with the documentation maintenance -- it should be so we're more aware of this mapping and don't break it accidentally. | ||
