Lee,


If the code to actually look for the Python documentation is already in PythonIDE (even as a hack), then it sounds like the only thing that's missing is the documentation itself.

Someone prepared an Apple Help Book of the Python2.3 docs that could be
installed with the old Package Manager. It sounds like no one has done
this for 2.4.1. Doing this, though, isn't hard. See this URL for info on
~ packaging a help book:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/ProvidingUserAssitAppleHelp/user_help_intro/chapter_1_section_1.html

Basically, you need to add some tags to the index page, run Apple's help
indexing tool over the help directory, and put it in the right place in
the app bundle. I've packaged Apple Help for some of my apps (none for
Python) and it's a pretty basic process.

I'd take a whack at doing this myself, but I'm not installing 2.4.1 for
now--stuff I maintain depends on the Apple-provided Python.

Hope this helps.
