Hi:I am attempting to build an application that uses the built-in Apple Help system to display my html help files. I'm getting a Mac OS Error -50, which corresponds to "Error in user parameter list." Here's what I've done thus far: 1. Info.plist has the following entries: <key>CFBundleHelpBookFolder</key> <string>help</string> <key>CFBundleHelpBookName</key> <string>MyAppName Help</string> My html files are in a directory called "help", and my top-level help doc has the Apple metatag "MyAppName Help". 2. In the initializing routine of my app, I have the following lines: from Carbon import AH app = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(sys.prefix)) AH.AHRegisterHelpBook(app) #This line causes Mac OS Error -50 The application is a wxpython gui and I'm using py2app to build it. Everything works like a champ, except for the help system. Thank you for your time, Don
I used to use this function in my Python apps, but moved away from it after it became clear that the MacOS/Carbon bits were being deprecated. I believe they have been removed altogether from 3.0.
Searching for AH.AHRegisterHelpBook() on codesearch.google.com yields some useful hits. I based my code on some snippets used there (the PythonIDE stuff, in particular).
