First, this question has most likely been asked before, but I can't get
the hang of easily searching the archives so any pointers in that
regard would be appreciated also (and limit my dumb questions :~). I'm
new to Mac and the Python community, but I'm retired from a software
engineering career. Dual 2.5 Power Mac G5 (OS X 10.3.8) Python 2.3
My limited experience so far with IDLE is positive, but Selecting
Help>Python Docs (or F1) does nothing for me (nothing appears). I found
what I think is the appropriate file on my system
(/Library/Tci/docs/SWIG/Manual/Python.html) and using Options>Configure
IDLE>General tab I added an additional help source browsing for the
file noted. I also tried variations such as file:///Library....... but
all to no avail. I can access the Python docs from PythonIDE and I can
access IDLE Help in IDLE, but not Python Docs in IDLE.
Might someone tell me how I should access Python Hepl docs from IDLE?
Thank you,
LeeC
