Hmm... I am relatively new to Python and have not found this pydoc. Google found nothing helpful, and I see no brlapi, brltty, or pydoc in python26\lib\site-packages. There is just a .pyd file in brltty\python26\lib\site-packages, no documentation. I have a feeling I am missing something basic, but I am not sure what; the manuals I find in the doc folder have nothing about python, and the one "library" Google turned up was a few lines that did not seem to do anything (though I could be wrong). > >> 3.
