[issue13691] pydoc help (or help('help')) should show the doc for help
Petr Kubat killm...@gmail.com added the comment:
I see. So calling help('help') should produce the documentation on the help()
function and typing help at the help prompt should print the help for the
prompt.
Tricky indeed. I think I'll look at it during the day after tomorrow and post
some results (if any).

[issue13691] pydoc help (or help('help')) should show the doc for help
Petr Kubat killm...@gmail.com added the comment:
Is anyone still working on this? If not I would like to make this work.
Although I'm not exactly sure how to tackle this problem since the built-in
help function is defined as a wrapper around pydoc.help and so the docstring
used for printing help('help') is actually a docstring of the site._Helper()
class.
I made a patch that adds a documentation-like message to the pydoc.help
function when it is called with a 'help' argument, but it doesn't seem clean to
me.

Petr Kubat killm...@gmail.com added the comment: Help at the help prompt does work, I tested that. But if you (or anyone) thought of a better way to fix this issue I would be glad to change it. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13691 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
