[Edu-sig] Re: [Idle-dev] Weird error when pydoc.help is added to builtin from site.py

[Patrick K. O'Brien]

Sorry, I should have specified the environment. I'm running the Python, IDLE
and pydoc versions that come with the Python 2.1 for windows file from
python.org. I'm running under a completely up-to-date Win98SE. (I know, I
know, but please don't groan. At least I can still play games. And I do have
a Linux partition. <wink>)

Python 2.1 (#15, Apr 16 2001, 18:25:49) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IDLE 0.8 -- press F1 for help

I can try to track the problem further if you like, but I feel a bit out of
my league compared to those with more Python experience than I have, which
is close to zero (but catching on quickly, I hope.).

Hm, this works for me in Python 2.2a0.  Which versions of Python, IDLE
and pydoc are you using?  Perhaps you have to reserach the problem
more to find out what's the matter.  Could it be the PAGER environment
variable?
