(On Windows) using the .CHM file provided by Hernan Foffani; can copy from another application and paste into the search or index window; with your example, index also shows 7 other functions/macros matching ^?PyObjectGC -- very handy.

Is it a FAQ why this kit is not in the Pythonlabs Win32 distribution instead of the "bunch of HTML files" kit?

Nope -- IIRC, you're the first to ask.

I understand that it's in the Activestate dist'n.

I'm not clear on "it's" referrent; I suspect ActiveState rolls its own doc packages. If Fred volunteers to produce .chm files in time for a release, I'll ship 'em. Don't hold your breath .
