Comment:
Not being a Python person, I just blindly tested and it appears
that you don't need the additional docs installed for help on
specific modules (even the native modules).
I can also confirm that help information for modules installed by
other packages (e.g., GTK-2.0) is displayed as well, which more
indicates that Python's help is reading help strings directly from
the modules as the ticket indicates.
Unless Ag replies and has additional information, I'm inclined to
comment out the stuff about help('modulename') in the Python
instructions for the 6.3 release.
