be more than about 200 kb.
+1 from me. Would this mean that htmllib and sgmllib could be
removed without further ado.
OK, I've now implemented this in the trunk (will merge to 3k soon --
htmllib and sgmllib can go then).
The topic help is contained in a new module, pydoc_topics.py, which pydoc
imports to provide this help. The module can be generated with Sphinx
by running "make pydoc-topics" in the Doc/ directory. (This is one more
step for the release process, but it is an easy one.)
The module is currently ~ 400 kb in size. If this is deemed to be a problem,
we could use zlib to compress the contents -- which of course is bad for
systems without the zlib module (are there any?).

two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
