Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: My man(1) also respects MANPAGER (it’s the one from http://man-db.nongnu.org/), but given the lack of a standard, I agree with you.
However, I’m reluctant to add another env variable. There are workarounds, for example using a shell alias like “docpy="PAGER=most pydoc"”. I think this warrants a python-ideas discussion. Justin: what exactly is a pager that does not support man pages? ---------- stage: unit test needed -> title: pydoc should respect MANPAGER over PAGER. -> Add PYDOCPAGER envvar to specify pager for pydoc _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8637> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
