Mark Lawrence added the comment:

There's a two line patch inline in msg201750.  If it's acceptable I'll do a 
formal patch myself unless someone else wants to pick this up.

[issue19453] pydoc.py doesn't detect IronPython, help(foo) can hang

2013-10-30 Thread David Evans 

New submission from David Evans:

The pager functions used by help() in StdLib's pydoc.py don't detect IronPython 
correctly and the result is a lack of functionality or in some cases a hang. 
This is similar to issue 8110 in that the code attempts to detect windows with 
a check for win32 from sys.platform and needs to check for cli as well to 
detect IronPython running on mono on linux/mac os or on windows.

My naive change to workaround the problem was to add the two line test for 
cli amidst getpager() here:

if sys.platform == 'win32' or sys.platform.startswith('os2'):
return lambda text: tempfilepager(plain(text), 'more ')
if sys.platform == 'cli':
return plainpager # IronPython
if hasattr(os, 'system') and os.system('(less) 2/dev/null') == 0:
return lambda text: pipepager(text, 'less')

That two line addition allowed basic function and prevents the hang though 
maybe there is a better pager type that would work on IronPython. In our linux 
and windows tests though neither the tempfilepager nor pipepager would function 
on either platform.

I submitted the report to the IronPython issues tracker and someone there 
suggested posting the patch here.
