I checked the Python 3.0 docs: all Carbon modules are removed, as you
stated. So to launch the Help viewer nowadays, are you making calls to
Cocoa? Or are you just launching the default web browser and skipping the
Help viewer altogether?


User help is one of the trickiest things to get right, I've found. Both Apple's help viewer and the browser present issues. My own solution is documented here:

Not all parts of this are relevant, since I'm using Tkinter and bumping up against Tk's limited support for displaying HTML, but it will give you an idea of the issues.

Since you're using wxPython, can't you just call either the wxHelp API (a bit complicated if I recall correctly) or simply create a simple HTML viewer? I think something like that is in the wxPython demo code.
