This will be fixed with a new installer, later tonight.

Ah, you've been running test.autotest from the PythonIDE! It took me a  
while to figure this one out.

The bug has nothing to do with running tests: the IDE has a dirty  
sys.argv. I've submitted bug 765603
about it.

The Help I want to have available always. It's only 300K (a couple of  
html pages and some images).
The full documentation will be installable through the package manager.
