Benjamin (or anyone else), do you know where I can get the Compiled
Windows Help file -- python27.chm -- for this release? In the past
I've been able to download it from the Python web site, but have been
unable to locate it anywhere for this new release. I can't build it
myself because I don't have the Microsoft HTML help file compiler.
Thanks in advance.
