First, this question has most likely been asked before, but I can't get the hang of easily searching the archives so any pointers in that regard would be appreciated also (and limit my dumb questions :~). I'm new to Mac and the Python community, but I'm retired from a software engineering career. Dual 2.5 Power Mac G5 (OS X 10.3.8) Python 2.3
My limited experience so far with IDLE is positive, but Selecting Help>Python Docs (or F1) does nothing for me (nothing appears). I found what I think is the appropriate file on my system (/Library/Tci/docs/SWIG/Manual/Python.html) and using Options>Configure IDLE>General tab I added an additional help source browsing for the file noted. I also tried variations such as file:///Library....... but all to no avail. I can access the Python docs from PythonIDE and I can access IDLE Help in IDLE, but not Python Docs in IDLE.
Might someone tell me how I should access Python Hepl docs from IDLE?
When I booted up IDLE and went to Python Docs, it took me to the web docs: http://www.python.org/doc/current/
Generally, if I'm looking something up, I do it from the google box in Safari. Like this:
webbrowser site:docs.python.org
