[Python-Dev] using help function in Py3k

[s|s]

Hello,

I Ran Python 3.0 for the first time. I used help() function and wrote
"modules hash". It issues an error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/ss/eproj/xapian/INST//lib/python3.0/site.py", line 427,
in __call__
    return pydoc.help(*args, **kwds)
  File "/home/ss/eproj/xapian/INST//lib/python3.0/pydoc.py", line
1675, in __call__
    self.interact()
  File "/home/ss/eproj/xapian/INST//lib/python3.0/pydoc.py", line
1693, in interact
    self.help(request)
  File "/home/ss/eproj/xapian/INST//lib/python3.0/pydoc.py", line 1711, in help
    self.listmodules(request.split()[1])
  File "/home/ss/eproj/xapian/INST//lib/python3.0/pydoc.py", line
1799, in listmodules
    apropos(key)
  File "/home/ss/eproj/xapian/INST//lib/python3.0/pydoc.py", line

    ModuleScanner().run(callback, key, onerror=onerror)
  File "/home/ss/eproj/xapian/INST//lib/python3.0/pydoc.py", line 1875, in run
    source = loader.get_source(modname)
  File "/home/ss/eproj/xapian/INST/lib/python3.0/pkgutil.py", line
293, in get_source
    self.source = self.file.read()
  File "/home/ss/eproj/xapian/INST//lib/python3.0/io.py", line 1720, in read
    decoder = self._decoder or self._get_decoder()
  File "/home/ss/eproj/xapian/INST//lib/python3.0/io.py", line 1506,
in _get_decoder
    make_decoder = codecs.getincrementaldecoder(self._encoding)
  File "/home/ss/eproj/xapian/INST//lib/python3.0/codecs.py", line
960, in getincrementaldecoder
    decoder = lookup(encoding).incrementaldecoder
LookupError: unknown encoding: uft-8

The reason for errors is test/ directory which has got tests for
python parser are installed in Lib directory. I propose that these
files should be installed by default in some other directory.
Preferably in /share or /share/doc part of the tree.


regards
