[New-bugs-announce] [issue27854] Installed 2.7: IDLE Help disabled because help.html is missing

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

Since 2.7.11, 3.4.4, and 3.5.1, idlelib contains a committed help.html, displayed by Help => IDLE Help.  In my Windows 2.7.12 installation, the file is missing, even after 'Repair'.  IDLE Help silently does nothing.  I don't remember if I tested the 2.7.11 installation.  It is present in current 3.5/6 installations. Someone needs to test on other machines and OSes to determine if this omission is specific to my machine or the (2.7) Windows installer.
