hh.exe is part of the Windows OS and is included on all non-prehistoric  
Windows versions. See http://support.microsoft.com/dllhelp/
win32help is part of the pywin32 package - but it's just a thin wrapper  
around the help API. The authoritative documentation source should be the  
Microsoft site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc196383.aspx
