I was going to suggest using pydoc.help from the stdlib, but that seems to 
have it's own problems:

 >>> from pydoc import help
 >>> help
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File , line 0, in <stdin>##313
   File C:\Program Files\Python24\Lib\pydoc.py, line 1640, in __repr__
   File C:\Program Files\Python24\Lib\inspect.py, line 819, in stack
   File , line 0, in _getframe##315
ValueError: _getframe is not implemented
