New submission from Gregor <gregor.hochsch...@gmx.de>: pydoc with pydoc with -w option (to write html files) does not work for a lot of help topics (e.g. EXPRESSIONS, FORMATTING, TUPLELITERALS, def, if, else...) If you look at the source you can see that when using the switch '-w' (http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/pydoc.py#l2311) pydoc uses the function writedoc, otherwise to the class Helper (http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/pydoc.py#l2325). In the Helper-class EXPRESSIONS is defined under line 1666 (http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Lib/pydoc.py#l1666). The function writedoc does not utilize this nor does it use the Helper class.
For dicussion see: http://stackoverflow.com/a/10333615/1318686 Example: pydoc EXPRESSIONS works perfectly fine but pydoc -w EXPRESSIONS does not. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 159428 nosy: docs@python, gregor.hoch priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: pydoc with -w option does not work for a lot of help topics versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14680> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
