Summary: context sensitive help/keyword search

Initial Comment:
This script/module looks up keywords in the Python 
manuals.

It is usable as CGI script - a version is online at
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/cgi-
bin/pyhelp.cgi

It can also by used from the command line:
python pyhelp.py keyword

It can also be used to implement context sensitive 
help in IDLE or Xemacs (for example) by simply 
selecting a word and pressing F1.

It can use the online version of the manuals at 
www.python.org/doc/, or it can use local installed 
html pages.

The script/module scans the index pages of the docs 
for hyperlinks, and pickles the results to disk.
