Jesse or Andre, please test interactive help in IDLE as pydoc then knows that it is *not* talking to Windows console. It then does not use more.com but prints the entire text at once. It should send it 'as is' and should ignore the console language and encoding settings. Use a Start menu icon or > pyw -m idlelib 'py' works too. It blocks, but displays the occasional tk/tkinter/IDLE error message as sys.__stderr__, etc, are the console stream instead of None. Long output such as the 240 lines for COMPARISON is, by default, 'squeezed' to a little box. Double click to expand or right click to move it to a separate window. If there is still a problem with garbage in the text, we should try to fix it. PS: one can select more than one Component, but Documentation usually refers to the content, not the means of displaying it. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44275> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
