Not all parts of this are relevant, since I'm using Tkinter and bumping

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.
With wx, there are two good options for doing your own HTML help:
use wxHTML -- this is simple and fast, and I think there is a
help-browsing app built in wxPython already, for the wxPython help. The
downside is that it does not support modern HTML (i.e. CSS, etc).
If you want full-on HTML, you can embed the system browser -- on the
Mac, that's the webkitctrl -- it works pretty well.
In the future, I hope wxWebKit will be robust enough to use -- it may be
now for things like basic help -- that would give you full cross
platform control over the browser component.
Of course, just pointing the system browser at your help is quick and easy.
