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.
Another option is PyObjC, it definitly allows you to integrate with
the native Cocoa help API's.
